Interesting piece this:
Here's a taster:
Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine - Spreading a map of East Ukraine on the table, Olena Dovhopola begins to rapidly point at scrawled red circles that dot the length and breadth of the paper.
"I was here, and then here," the 59-year-old says, quickly shuffling the map to the right. "And in this small town as well. I've been all over the place, and both sides - separatist and Ukrainian army. I just need to find him. I know he is still alive somewhere."
There's a clear desperation in her voice.
Dovhopola's son, 31-year-old Serhiy, went missing in September 2014, just months into the war in Ukraine. Serving in the Ukrainian army, Serhiy went missing after fierce clashes with separatist rebels in the east of the county.
He is one of an estimated 1,000 people, both soldiers and civilians, who have been declared missing - presumed dead or captured - since the beginning of the conflict in March 2014.
The vast majority of the missing, like Serhiy, disappeared during the first few months of the war when towns and villages changed hands frequently, and battles between the Russian-backed rebels and regular and irregular Ukrainian forces were particularly ferocious and frequent.
Now, with the fighting in its third year, an estimated 10,000 people have died and 1.5 million are displaced as a result of the hostilities between Ukraine and Russian-backed rebel groups the Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic.
