Civilians in Ukraine's eastern strongholds struggle as Russia advances

With the Russian advance deeper into the Donetsk region, the air in Ukraine's last strongholds is thick with dread, and the future for civilians who remain grows ever more uncertain. In Kostiantynivka, once home to 67,000 people, there is no steady supply of power, water or gas. Shelling intensifies, drones fill the skies, and the city has become unbearable, driving out the last remaining civilians. Kramatorsk, by contrast, still shows signs of life. Just 25 kilometres (15 miles) to the north, the prewar population of 147,000 has thinned, but restaurants and cafes remain open. The streets are mostly intact. Though the city has endured multiple strikes and is now dominated by the military, daily routines persist in ways that are no longer possible in nearby towns. Once the industrial heart of Ukraine, Donetsk is being steadily reduced to rubble. Many residents fear its cities may never be rebuilt and, if the war drags on, Russia eventually will swallow what is left. (Donetsk) region
