Two years on from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, citizens living near the entrenched frontline are divided between determination and despair.
The town of Lyman in many ways reflects the mood of a nation struggling with a grinding, seemingly endless war.
Lyman is a small, half-ruined railway town, first seized by Russia, then liberated and now trapped, precariously, near the frontlines of the Donbas. Its civilian inhabitants are torn over what is now best for their country’s future.
The failure of Ukraine’s counter-offensive last year is clearly weighing heavily on many in Lyman. Some are wondering whether the time has now come to trade land for peace. Others remain determined to fight on, while worrying about whether arms supplies from western allies will continue to arrive.
Jane Hill presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Andrew Harding in Lyman.
