The Ukrainian village of Krymske lies on the front line. Government forces are dug in around the village, and civilians face frequent artillery fire from Russian-backed separatists. Speaking on November 23, many felt they had no choice but to stay -- and take their chances with the shells falling around them. (Levko Stek, RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service)
