A machine gun placement is seen along the front line where Ukranian troops are based, near Ukraine's second largest city Kharkiv on April 17, 2022. From a muddied hideout on the edge of Kharkiv a Ukrainian officer peers at the horizon, tracing the Russian lines with his outstretched finger. On the left, the land is in Ukrainian hands, he says. To the right, the Russians are dug in, hammering Ukraine's second city with constant bombardment. He stands at “point zero”: the spot where the two sides meet in combat. “How long it will last I cannot say”, said Petro, a 42-year-old army captain.  ”The enemy is entrenching, making a frontline, trying to gain a foothold”. AFP was asked not to reveal the exact location or details of Ukrainian positions on a visit to the frontline outside Kharkiv on April 17, 2022. (Photo by Maryke Vermaak/AFP Photo)

A convoy of firefighting vehicles and relief equipment, donated by France to Ukraine,  arrive at the humanitarian hub of Suceava in Romania, close to the Ukrainian-Romanian border, April 18, 2022. After a 2,500 km journey through five countries, a convoy of 40 vehicles loaded with 50 tonnes of relief equipment arrived at the border between Romania and Ukraine where this equipment will be handed over to Ukrainian rescuers. One hundred firefighters  transported 12 fire vehicles and 12 personal rescue vehicles. Nearly 50 tonnes of equipment, including tools for locating victims in the rubble, lifting cushions or equipment for fighting fuel fires, will be handed over to Ukrainian civil security.  This is the second convoy, after that which left in March, from Civil Security in coordination with the crisis management center of the Ministry of the Interior (CDCS), in conjunction with their European and Ukrainian counterparts. “The equipment will make possible to replenish the stocks of the Ukrainian civil security services in the regions bombed by the Russians”, CDCS deputy director Alexis Le Cour Grandmaison told AFP. A total of “29 Ukrainian firefighters died in the fire, dozens of barracks (were) completely or partially destroyed as well as 300 vehicles destroyed or damaged by the Russian army”, he said.
