A young Ukrainian soldier seen holding a light machine gun warming himself by a fire. The conflict in the Eastern Ukraine has become more political than physical since 2014 when 12,000 lost their lives. Today though, it is spasmodic and most shelling is during the nighttime. (The official observers from OSCE organization do not monitor at night!). Due to the Minsk ceasefire both parties try to respect it and only light equipment is seen in use.
