I spent several weeks in East Ukraine, primarily with Battalion Donbas. They are a group of private citizens who have created a paramilitary unit to fight pro-Russian separatists who are trying to create a new republic in the east of the country. During this time, I tried to turn my lens towards the ordinary moments that were taking place in extraordinary times.
