Troops on the frontline in the region have told Sky News that they are struggling to defend it.
Sky’s International Correspondent Alex Rossi talks to troops and residents who remain living in the line of fire.

If all efforts were centered at diplomatic approach,this war couldn't have happened in the first place but both parties in this war including Ukraine takes responsibilities for what is happening now in a proxy war between the West and Russia.
@she825
Ukraine should have stayed neutral and not be used by the US as a pawn in it's proxy war against Russia. This is a lesson for all lackies. Check out your own interest first and not do the bidding for the US and its European lapdogs.
