TOPSHOT - A Ukrainian soldier Anton, 40, from the 5th Assault Brigade gets ready before heading for a 4-day rotation to the frontline, in an undisclosed area near the town of Chasiv Yar, Donetsk region, on March 28, 2024, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The eastern city of Chasiv Yar is facing a "difficult and tense" situation, a Ukrainian army official said on March 25, 2024. If Russia took Chasiv Yar, it could step up attacks on the strategic city of Kramatorsk that is already facing growing bombardment. (Photo by Roman PILIPEY / AFP) (KEYSTONE/AFP/ROMAN PILIPEY)
