Ukrainians spending their days in basements seeking safety and food

As they wait for an expected counter-offensive, residents near Ukraine's front lines seek safety, food and companionship in basements.

 

Ukraine’s southern front lies just seven kilometres from the town of Orikhiv, where some 1,000 residents are trying to survive incessant shelling, waiting for a major Ukrainian offensive. Life is mostly lived in basements where meals are taken and the onset of Spring keep up spirits. Outside there is much destruction.
