OP-ED
Daisy Sindelar: There’s a word for what’s going on in Ukraine… But what is it?
Oleksandr Chernov, a doctor and journalist from eastern Ukraine, spent 10 days as a captive of pro-Russian separatists based in Slovyansk.

And he heard countless examples of how the months of violence in Donbas had taken a deadly personal toll.
