Avdiivka, Ukraine: A soldier reloads his weapon to return fire towards the Russian insurgents during a night shift defending positions in Avdiivka. Even under the Minsk ceasefire agreements since 2015, nightly violations are routine, with casualties amounting every week. In the Industrial Zone of Avdiivka, it is routine for soldiers to take shifts firing small arms weapons during the night to demonstrate the presence of Ukrainian soldiers maintaining their hold on the positions.
