Yekaterinburg (Russia) (AFP) – Some 2,000 kilometres from the frontline in Ukraine, in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg, a group of women clad in camouflage fatigues practise firing their Soviet-designed Kalashnikovs. They are part of the ‘Women’s Guard of the Urals’ – volunteers who have signed up for military training amid fears that the fight could come back home.
