Sloviansk was occupied for three months by separatist militias in 2014 as Russian- backed militias claimed swathes of territory. It was later liberated, but the frontline remains just a few kilometres away. For Sloviansk’s teenagers, war is almost all they’ve known and the years of fighting means they have had to grow up fast.
