Ukraine's frontline cities filled with dread and defiance
In his new clothes store in the heart of Ukraine's frontline city of Kramatorsk, Maksym Lysenko suddenly stops talking and listens. “There,” he says, leaning towards the window looking onto the street. “It's going to dive. It's going to drop.” Lysenko had heard the high-pitched whine of a Russian suicide drone. Moments later there is a loud explosion. “Boom! This is Kramatorsk!” he says with a smile. “This is Kramatorsk.” It's the third attack witnessed by Reuters in less than an hour by Russian kamikaze drones terrorising the skies over one of Ukraine's final bastions in the fiercely contested region of Donetsk. Thousands of unmanned aerial vehicles hover above more than 1,000 km (620 miles) of frontlines in Ukraine's east and south at any one time, making even small infantry advances dangerous and costly.
