Donetsk region, Ukraine CNN —A Ukrainian solider rushes through the front-line in Klishchiivka, eastern Ukraine, as gun and artillery fire erupt around him.
A Ukrainian soldier practices with an American-donated machine gun at a training ground in eastern Ukraine.
Vasco Cotovio/CNNUnfazed by the artillery duels just a few miles away, over the battered city of Bakhmut, Vasyl, 44, practices with a US-made M2 Browning machine gun.
“This is a large-caliber machine gun that works without failures,” said Vasyl, who asked that his last name not be used due to safety concerns.
Back at the Ukrainian military training ground, smoke billows on the horizon but a momentary silence suggests an end to the artillery duel in the distance.
