Ukraine claims to be advancing in the fierce, months-long battle for the eastern city of Bakhmut. The leader of Russia's Wagner mercenary group, which has led Moscow's effort to try to capture the town, admitted that Ukrainian troops have made gains.
In the meantime, Ukrainian civilians in towns all along the front line in the country's east continue to bear the brunt of Putin's assault. Only about three miles from Russian positions, Orikhiv bears all the scars of a battleground. The town sits squarely on the front line of this war, and the few residents who haven't already fled live in constant fear of Russian attack.
From a pre-war population of around 14,000, only about 1,400 hardy souls remain. The last children left Orikhiv three weeks ago, when it became too dangerous. Locals say the town comes under attack day and night, including rockets that have targeted the school. Mandrych said it's more than just a little village within the town, however. The school is"like civilization within all of the devastation."
