'We were born here': Ukrainians in frontline towns face painful choice
Brutal Russian onslaught in east Ukraine continues, forcing people to flee to unknown areas or risk death by staying.
As the war comes up to the six-month mark, attention has shifted to the southern front, and hopes for a Ukrainian counteroffensive. But in the east the Russian onslaught continues, forcing the remaining residents to either flee to an unfamiliar setting or risk death by staying at home.
For now, the new Ukrainian line in Donbas is holding, following last month's retreat from Lysychansk. But Russian missiles strike repeatedly, into military positions and towns and cities such as Kramatorsk, up to 20 miles behind the front, part of a merciless bombing campaign that frequently and pointlessly strikes residential areas. Most days several civilians are killed and homes are destroyed.
A detailed shot shows the remnants of the russian missile that hit the backyard of Valentina's home photographed on Wednesday, Aug 17, 2022. An ongoing Russian bombardment campaign targeted southwestern Kramatorsk on Friday, Aug 12, 2022. It is the house of Valentina, a 75 years old Ukrainian woman that is a mother to a son she mentioned. "It was six pm, and I was staying outside to freshen up, and then it just happened" I can't remember anything further, she added. It appears that she's mentally and emotionally disturbed; stitches and traces of shrapnel wounds are apparent on her face, arms and legs as she cries, telling us her story and showing us around the only property she owned turned into ruins the moment Russians sent a missile to her backyard.

A family sits outside their apartment behind a massive crater left by an airstrike in the ruined port city of Mariupol, Southeastern Ukraine. Many people are trying to flee the city on foot into territory controlled by the Donetsk People's Republic. More than 200,000 people are trapped in the strategic city described by those who managed to escape as a "freezing hellscape riddled with dead bodies and destroyed buildings," Human Rights Watch said.

Following the trench warfare in the poppy fields of Flanders, Belgium during World War I, poppies have become a symbol of remembrance of soldiers who have died during wartime.
Remembrance Day or Poppy Day has been observed since the end of the First World War to remember armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of First World War hostilities.
Pictured: Somme WW1 Battlefield, July 1st-November 1916, France. Site of Lochnagar Crater at La Boiselle. February 2014
The Lochnagar Crater ( named after a nearby WW1 trench which was named by an officer after a mountain in Deeside near Balmoral in Scotland where many of the 7th Gordons, based in La Boiselle, were estate workers ) at La Boiselle, the largest crater on the Western Front, was created on the first day of the Somme offensive on 1st July 1916 at 7.28 in the moring by exploding a hugh mine of 60,000 Lbs of guncotton under the the German front line. The Crater was slowly being eroded until Richard Dunning purchased the crater in 1978 after reading about it in 'The Old Front Line' by John Masefield, so that it might be saved as a permanent memorial. Remains of both British and German Soldiers are still being found in the surrounding landscape and are buried in nearby cemeteries but marked at the Crater by crosses and Poppy Wreaths.
