Damaged building seen through shattered window STORYLINE: The murky water slowly trickles from the filthy drainpipe into her grimy container — the ticking seconds ramping up the risk that Emilia Budskaya could lose life or limb to Russian artillery strikes torturing her front-line city in eastern Ukraine. Gaping gashes from deadly shrapnel in the courtyard walls around her testify to the dangers of being outside — exposed and without the body armour that Ukrainian soldiers defending Vuhledar wear when they venture from their bunkers. But Budskaya and her daughter need water to cling on and to survive, to eke out another day in the ruins. And so they wait — tick, tick, tick — for the container to fill, for Budskaya to then pour the water into plastic bottles and — tick, tick, tick — for her to then start the process again until their bottles are filled. Picking their way through the debris and mud, they carry their bounty back to the dark basement that now passes for their home. “We have no water, nothing,” Budskaya says. "I’m getting rain water to wash dishes and hands.” On the largely static front line between Ukrainian and Russian forces that stretches over hundreds of kilometers (miles) — from the Black Sea in the south to Ukraine's northeastern border with Russia — Vuhledar has become one of the deadliest hotspots. It has joined Bakhmut, Marinka and other cities and towns, particularly in the fiercely contested east, now synonymous with grinding and destructive attritional warfare and which have become symbols of Ukrainian resistance.
