Anxiety grows in eastern Ukraine as residents brace for Russian invasion

The regions in eastern Ukraine recognised by Russia as independent extend far beyond areas under rebel control.

With the Minsk agreement now in tatters – Ukraine has declared Avdiivka and other towns and villages along the frontline, restricted areas.

Ukrainian soldiers in front lines report intensified shelling

Ukrainian government soldiers in front-line trenches in Ukraine’s east said on Monday that heavy shelling from Russian-backed separatists had intensified to provoke all-out conflict amid fears of Russia seeking a pretext for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian troops have battled Russian-backed separatists in the Donetsk and Luhansk breakaway regions bordering Russia since 2014. A ceasefire deal in 2015 halted the worst fighting, but shelling has intensified along the “line of contact” since last week as Russia masses forces along Ukraine’s borders.
