Ukrainian forces have been holding the line in Donbas since 2014, against Russian-backed separatists.
However, what was sporadic fighting has now turned into a full-blown war of unrelenting attacks.
Lieutenant Denys Gordeev, of the Ukraine Army, said: “We have bomb attacks, rocket attacks every day, all the time, every hour.”
Meanwhile, women, children, the elderly and the sick living in eastern Ukraine are desperately short of food and water.
The BBC’s defence correspondent Johnathan Beale reports from Donbas.
