Скачать или смотреть Between life and death in front-line Krasnohorivka

Running shops just a kilometer from Russian forces, living entirely off humanitarian aid, and surviving one day at a time in basements after direct hits to their apartment: this is how the remaining Ukrainian civilians live in the front-line city of Krasnohorivka, just 15 kilometers west of the Russian-occupied city of Donetsk.
For the people here, the war came to them not in 2022 but almost ten years ago, during the initial Kremlin-coordinated covert invasion that began in 2014. The situation since then has been difficult but largely stable until recently, when Russia took nearby Avdiivka and began advancing across the front line. The Kyiv Independent visited Krasnohorivka in February 2024, just two weeks before Russian forces unsuccessfully attempted to break into the city.
