Ukraine's president says his forces are in the fight of their lives, while Russia intensifies its offensive in the eastern Donbas region.
But he says Ukrainian soldiers are fighting back, and seeing success.
Russia's offensive has created a desperate situation for civilians.
That includes people in the village of Marinka, which is now on the front line.
Al Jazeera's correspondent @Charles Stratford reports from Marinka, Eastern Ukraine.
