The Ukrainian village of Ocheretyne has been battered to ruins by advancing Russian troops. The village, which had a population of 3,000 before the war, has been a target for Russian forces in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine.
Kyiv’s depleted ammunition-deprived forces have been fighting with Russia’s artillery, drones and bombs. Ukraine’s military has acknowledged that the Russians have gained a foothold in Ocheretyne, but say that fighting continues. Residents are fleeing the village.
