Railroad Hub Town Debaltseve Under Control Of Russian Separatist In Eastern Ukraine

DEBALTSEVE, UKRAINE - FEBRUARY 25: Igor Jakoulevna pauses while eating lunch with his family in the basement of an administrative building, where people have been living since August due to continued fighting, on February 25, 2015 in Debaltseve, Ukraine. After approximately one month of fighting, Russian backed rebels successfully forced Ukrainian troops to withdraw from the town of 100,00 people on February 18. Only approximately 11,000 civilians remain in the town. Debaltseve is considered an asset to both Ukrainians and the rebels due to the railway station and it's connection to other eastern Ukranian towns. (Photo by Andrew Burton/Getty Images)
