Frontline report: terrified civilians flee Russian advance in eastern Ukraine - BBC News 16,849 views Jun 23, 2022 Russian forces are closing in on the city of Lysychansk in the eastern Donbas region of Ukraine.
It’s the latest focus of Russia’s war effort, with their forces close to the edge of the city.
Around 8,000 civilians still remain there, out of a pre-war population of 100,000.
Many are reluctant to leave despite the terrible destruction and risk to their lives as Russian forces approach.
Huw Edwards presents a BBC News at Ten special report by Orla Guerin and Colm O’Molloy, who joined a group of volunteers helping remaining civilians to flee.

The war in Ukraine continues, with no end in sight.
Ukraine says to end this war they need weapons from the west - that’s the only way they can win. But Kyiv says that they’re not getting what they want and when they want it.
So, how long will this war drag on and what does victory look like for Ukraine, for Russia and for the West?
Today we speak to Lindsey Hilsum, our international editor, who spent weeks in Ukraine since the war began and has covered countless conflicts around the world.
She tells us about why peace isn’t always peace, why some European leaders are going “wobbly” and why poets understand so much more than journalists.

The Nato summit has been thick on unity and defiance.
A message to President Putin, and President Xi of China, that this alliance is stronger than ever - and ready to defend itself and its values.
In a symbolic lift mentioned by both the Prime Minister and the American President - one of Ukraine's symbols of resilience, Snake Island in the Black Sea, has now been abandoned by Russia.
But this war is far from over. Its economic and military costs are bound to climb - and this summit has not given Ukraine enough heavy weapons ro win the war, only enough not to lose it in the near term.
