A Week With Ukraine's Volunteer Fighters
These images document a week in the lives of the men in a volunteer nationalist battalion fighting against Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine. While many volunteer battalions were absorbed into the official Ukrainian military, some are still on the front lines, operating in unofficial relationships with government forces. These men are positioned in a rundown building just outside Donetsk, where the war drags on despite an official cease-fire agreement. The photos were taken in early October 2016.
Ukraine Crisis Summit Set For October 19 In Berlin
The leaders of Germany, France, Russia, and Ukraine are to hold a summit in Berlin on October 19 to discuss efforts toward peace in eastern Ukraine.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has invited President Vladimir Putin of Russia, Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko, and President Francois Hollande of France to "assess the implementation” of the Minsk agreements, her spokesman Steffen Seibert said on October 18.
Seibert said they will also “discuss further steps" in the process toward ending the Ukraine crisis.
The four leaders held their last summit on Ukraine in Paris in October 2015.
The 2015 Minsk peace agreement brokered by France and Germany has helped end large-scale fighting between Ukrainian government forces and Russia-backed separatists in the country’s east, but clashes have continued and efforts to reach a political settlement have stalled.
The conflict has killed more than 9,600 people since April 2014.
