One of the front line positions approx 5 km from Donetsk City is the home of 25 men from the Shakhtyorsk trenches are about 800 meters long and exceptionally well built from a selection of different wood types. All hand dug! Each trench serves a lookout or arms are just wide enough to allow one man to move efficiently. The war between the Ukrainian army and the soldiers of the Donetsk Peoples Republic has cost the lives of 12,000 people and those who have been displaced exceed a million. It escalated in 2014. Despite a ceasefire in place, it is evident that death still occurs from predominantly, sniper, mortar and mines. The construction of trenches either side of no-man’s land, (often only 100mt apart) have ensured a static yet aggressive confrontation. The Minsk ceasefire agreement and constant political turbulence has only made a stalemate and still no conclusion is evident in the near future.
