zero line

noun zero lines

The very front of the front line, where opposing armed forces meet and engage in direct combat, especially the border between (US forces in) Afghanistan and Pakistan, or between Ukrainian and Russian forces. Outside of the main roads and major cities, life in small-town Ukraine rides a razor's edge on the “zero line” where two armies collide.
