In this picture taken on March 3, 2015, Vera Pavliy, 76 year-old, dressed in a worn-out sheepskin coat, cries outside a bank in the town of Kurakhove, Ukraine, just a few miles away from the area controlled by Russia-backed rebels. The 76-year-old was stuck behind the battle lines with no money and no way to get home. The war that brought death and destruction to the region has largely abated, but the misery remains.

The goal is ostensibly to choke the rebel economy and force the separatist front to yield, but for now Kievs actions are fostering only resentment. (AP Photo/Mstyslav Chernov)
