The eastern Ukrainian town of Lysychansk, located just 14km (9 miles) from Russian ground forces, has turned into a ghost town after two months of sustained Russian shelling.
Most residents have left, shops are closed, windows sealed with wooden planks and doors barricaded.
However, few residents refuse or cannot flee the fighting as they have nowhere to go and no means to support themselves.
