With bawdy songs and violin solos, a live concert near Ukraine's front line offers troops a chance to unwind and at least temporarily clear their heads of war. Performed by fellow soldiers, the intimate show is staged at a recovery centre for Ukraine's 23rd mechanised brigade in the eastern Donetsk region. "While listening, I wasn't thinking about the trenches," says Oleksandr, a soldier recovering from a sinus infection likely caused by hypothermia, "there are songs or rhythms that remind you of something, of good memories."
