The Kyiv-Kramatorsk train remains an important route for relatives and wives of Ukrainian servicemen and provides an opportunity to see those fighting in the war against Russia. With a bunch of roses in his hand, Yuriy quickly climbs aboard the train to embrace his wife. She has come from Kyiv to Kramatorsk, near Ukraine's front line. On platform 4 at Kramatorsk station -- the end of the line for train 712 -- the 56-year-old soldier and his wife Vera, 49, embrace like two young lovebirds. "I have tears in my eyes... Today is Vera's birthday so it's a gift. Everything is perfect," said Yuriy, who serves in Ukraine's territorial defence forces. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
