War draws closer in Ukraine’s central Dnipropetrovsk region
MEZHOVA: Gazing out at his vast, sun-drenched field of wheat in eastern Ukraine, farmer Sergii Dozhenko is nervous.
“Each year, the front line gets closer,” he told AFP. “I’m scared.”
One year ago, he said, it was some 60 kilometers (37 miles) away. Russian forces have closed in half that distance since.
What’s more, their drones have in recent weeks killed farmers across his central region of Dnipropetrovsk which has largely been spared fighting that has ravaged swathes of eastern and southern Ukraine.
