Away from the current fighting in, people in Ukrainian towns which had previously been held by Russian forces are now trying to restart their lives.

Meanwhile, it's been three weeks since Russia announced it was shifting its focus to Ukraine's east, but that offensive doesn't appear to have got off the ground yet. What's holding them back?
