Ukrainian farmers continue to plow despite war

Every night, 5-6 people from our collectives guard here, while other men from the village, who have guns. We're here to protect the village every night”, says farmer Alexander Petkov.

His fields, near the border with Romania, have escaped the worst from fighting, but Russian invasion still endangers his life.
