The Ukrainians hope the arrival of foreign-supplied heavy artillery from America and Europe can help reverse the tide, but it may have arrived too late for the Ukrainians to keep hold of the Donbas.
The Ukrainian troops we've been speaking to have told us over and over again they feel outgunned and overwhelmed by the superior numbers of heavy Russian artillery which they are being bombarded with.
French President Emmanuel Macron has already supplied 12 Caesars and, after the G7 summit, he committed to providing another six. The heavy artillery is highly valued for its accuracy and can reach targets much further away - up to 30 miles away. They know they're on the backfoot right now but there's still a very high level of optimism about the long-term future here and he had this message for the Russians who're still busy celebrating their seizing of Luhansk. ''It's not for long," the commander says."We will kick you out and get it all back."
One of them is Valentina who tells us she saw her neighbour die the day before after a shell landed near her house. The residents feel caught in the middle of this land grab and attacked by both sides.She said:"When you're in the basements, fear just takes you over. It's fear and horror. Just horror."
