Another town falls on Ukraine’s ‘fortress belt’ as Russia creeps closer
- Charred vehicles line empty roads littered with the debris of destroyed buildings, while the thud of artillery fire gives way to the sharp, high-pitched hum of an attack drone.
- This is today's reality in the eastern Ukrainian town of Druzhkivka, where a remnant of civilians live alongside troops fighting Russian forces who are now only 15 km (nine miles) away and steadily edging closer.
- Widespread ruin of this nature is mirrored along the entire 1,200-km (746-mile) front line across the east and south.
