While the tension remains more than palpable between Russia and Ukraine, the diplomatic channel is trying to initiate a de-escalation. But the situation remains complicated. The municipality of Milové is an example of this, cut in two between the two countries.
The municipality of Milove (Ukraine) is the symbol of the war between Russia and Ukraine. It is cut in two by a fence. Before the conflict, the border was not materialized. Ukrainians and Russians came and went as neighbors and friends. From now on, the barrier erected by order of Moscow, even separates families.
Further south, the front line separates Ukrainians and pro-Russian separatists. It’s old-fashioned warfare. On the program, icy trenches and endless waiting. A Ukrainian soldier monitors the enemy positioned within 300 meters. Will Moscow attack? The recent escalation of tensions feeds the vigilance of the soldiers. The demarcation line is 427 kilometers long. Since the beginning of this conflict eight years ago, 13,000 Ukrainians have died. It is in their names that a soldier wants to fight.
