What is happening in Ukraine is much worse than the 1995 Chechen War, frontline cameraman Ivar Heinmaa tells Anu Välba in an interview. While it is possible to achieve relative safety by being careful in other conflicts, that is not the case in Ukraine.

It is no secret that the Ukrainian soldiers on the fronts suffer a serious shortage of artillery, tanks, rocket launchers and other heavy equipment.
