On east Ukraine front, residents make home in Soviet-era bomb shelter

DONETSK Ukraine (Reuters) - For those living on the front line between pro-Russian separatists and government troops in eastern Ukraine, the difference between life and death is often making it to the bomb shelter before the doors close.

The separatist territory of Petrovka, on the southern edge of the rebel stronghold of Donetsk, is only a few kilometres (miles) away from Ukrainian troop positions. Pro-Moscow rebels walk nearby paths through the leafy area daily to spy on their enemy and attack.
