War and peace

The Russian military is completing a mop up of enemy forces in Avdeevka. They've found NATO ammunition in a UAF stronghold, as well as a neighboring warehouse full of ammo produced by the U.S. and the Czech Republic. They've also found the dry rations of foreign mercenaries from Canada and Georgia. This has been reported by the Russian Defence Ministry.

Large-scale battles for Avdeevka ended on February 17 with a complete defeat for Kiev. Avdeevka is a strategic point in Donbass and the key to a peaceful future for Donetsk. It was from here that constant shelling was carried out, and it was this line that the enemy had been fortifying as best it could for ten years.

And somewhere behind the soldiers, literally 10 minutes from the explosions and gunfire, doctors were performing heart surgery on Donetsk citizens, scientists were working, women were giving birth to children, and roses were blooming along the roads...

How did people live at the intersection of war and peace?
