What it's like to walk on the Ukraine frontline

With pro-Russian troops across the frontline numbering over 100,000, The Guardian's Luke Harding visits Pisky in Ukraine's Donbas region, overlooking the city of Donetsk, where Ukrainian soldiers keep tabs on their neighbours just a few hundred metres away. Tension in the region has increased over recent weeks as Russia's military has built up its presence on the disputed border
