UKRAINE-RUSSIA-CRISIS-SOCIAL

TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY ANNA MALPAS - "Beers, ducks and talk of war on Donetsk beach" Men sit on the shore of a lake, on August 17, 2014, in central Donetsk. As a shell explodes close by in the twilight on Donetsk's beach, everyone falls silent for a moment. Then the chatter about where it fell and who fired it starts again. A tiny oasis of sand, grass and water in central Donetsk, a city surrounded by Ukrainian troops who are fighting pro-Russian rebels based there, the beach at the local reservoir is a popular spot for local residents who have opted not to leave the eerily deserted city now bombarded by regular shelling.
