The murky water oh so slowly trickles from the filthy drainpipe into her grimy container - the ticking seconds ramping up the risk that Emilia Budskaya could lose life or limb to Russian artillery strikes torturing her front-line town in eastern Ukraine.
On the largely static front line between Ukrainian and Russian forces that stretches over hundreds of kilometers , from the Black Sea in the south to Ukraine’s northeastern border with Russia, Vuhledar has become one of the deadliest hot spots.
Ukrainian soldiers are paying a heavy price, too, but say their sacrifices are wearing down waves of troops and equipment that Moscow is throwing into battle. “And this is not the only city,” the soldier, who fights in a Ukrainian rapid response unit, added. “I wish they would break their teeth trying to chew it.”
Ukraine’s military said Sunday that Russian assaults in the east remain concentrated on Bakhmut and other objectives. On patrol in Vuhledar’s ruins, hurrying down muddy paths to take cover behind pockmarked walls, Ukrainian soldiers said their fight was larger than for control of the city. “This is our land. Our people. Our history. We will return the Ukrainian flag to every corner of Ukraine,” Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram.
