SLOVIANSK: The combine harvester lies crippled in a field of eastern Ukraine, surrounded by a blackened patch of cropland. The machine was lumbering through a pasture outside the village of Maidan – around 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the frontline with Russian forces – when it struck a mine, according to farmer Pavlo Kudimov. One front wheel was wrenched off and the giant rotating reel prised aside, as the cabin was scorched by flames. The next morning the driver remained in hospital suffering serious burns as the wreck still smouldered, a reminder of the risks of tending land in a breadbasket that has become a brutal war zone.
