00:00Under relentless assault, one Ukrainian city is holding on by a thread.
00:04This is Pokrovsk, the new front line in Ukraine's battle for survival.
00:08In the eastern city of Pokrovsk, Ukrainian forces are fiercely holding the line against a massive Russian offensive.
00:15Despite Russia outnumbering them 8 to 1, Ukrainian troops are still rotating in and out, even wounded ones.
00:22Logistics are barely hanging on, but the supply routes remain open.
00:25Russian troops are advancing with fog-covered raids and drone strikes, hoping to encircle the city entirely.
00:31Ukraine's military is counterattacking both inside and just outside Pokrovsk, trying to stop the news from tightening.
00:38Once a key logistics hub, Pokrovsk is now mostly in ruins.
00:42But its symbolic value is enormous.
00:45If it falls, Russia will have its closest grip yet on Ukraine's heartland.
00:49Dnipro, a major city just 2.5 hours away, could be next in the Kremlin's sights.
00:54This isn't just a battle for land.
00:57It's a battle for momentum, and for the soul of eastern Ukraine.
