Stacked ammunition crates at a “block post,” or checkpoint, to the frontline positions in Pisky. Before the war, Pisky had a population of approximately 2,000 residents. In 2014, it became a major battleground during fighting for the Donetsk Airport, which ultimately fell to the Russian-backed separatists in 2015. As of 2016, less than 20 residents remain in the war-destroyed village, living amongst the soldiers who continue to hold defensive positions in the ongoing war.
