For 3 years Ukraine has been torn apart by an internecine war. It is opposing Western Ukrainians – supported by Western powers – to the Donbass separatists – backed by Putin’s Russia.

In 3 years, this “low-intensity conflict” has made more than 10.000 deaths. There is not a day going by that does not see skirmishes or deadly artillery duels across an 800 kilometers long frontline. But this war is also fought through language and music; the ukrainophones and russophones each support their troops in their own way: patriotic pop and rock in the West versus equally patriotic rap and folk in the East. A frontline report.
