The project was done in two phases. The first in the Autumn of
2014, when separatist forces took control of Donetsk's airport.
And the second in the Winter of 2015, following the current
ceasefire subsequent to the occupation of Debaltsavo, an
important strategic point for the territory.
The aim of the reportage is to illustrate the situation as it appears
in the occupied territory beyond the last Ukrainian controlled
checkpoint: volunteer separatists actively defend a devastated
wasted land in which a fragile ceasefire is not upheld.
A year after the beginning of this conflict, first considered as a
crisis and later as an uprising, it now appears as the first European
Civil War of the the century.
