The military are defending the Ukrainian land against Russian invaders. Meanwhile, the native land protects them from enemy shelling in the equipped dug-out shelters and trenches.
The photographs taken by Ukrinform’s photojournalists depict the living conditions of Ukrainian defenders at their positions in different fortification structures. Some of them serve as a place to live, while others are used as a cover when conducting a battle.
There is little daylight or artificial light in trenches, but the eyes of Ukrainian defenders shine here. Even in the war conditions, they try to create a minimum comfort in the places of their deployment. For example, children’s drawings help them in this regard.
Here, one can find firing positions and places to dry washed clothes.
