Bombs Explode Around, Yet Dark Humour Alive In Ukraines Frontline Cellar

Rubizhne, Ukraine: Mikhailo, who has lost everything to the war, except perhaps his sense of humour, draws on a cigarette before only half-joking, "You cannot die twice." He has survived the Russian onslaught under the ruins of Rubizhne, on the frontline of the battle raging for control on eastern Ukraine. Kremina, the next town along the Donbas frontline, fell to Russian forces five days ago. Rubizhne hangs by a thread with the launch of a major Russian offensive to conquer the region. After a month of bombardment, the Russians have taken hold of the northern part of the town. Most of the south remained under Ukrainian control on Saturday. The Ukrainian artillery is for now managing to keep the invaders at bay, halting their progress. Columns of smoke rise above the chimney stack of the town's biggest chemical works when the big guns fire. A row of tower blocks deserted by their worker families, disappear behind the smoke.
