‘We don’t matter to anyone’: Civilians in Ukrainian frontline city live in fear | Ukraine War
Thousands of civilians have fled the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk as Russian forces start to target the area, with fire and rescue teams being called out every day.
The city is the main supply hub for Ukrainian forces and as Russia has strengthened its grip on the Donbas, they’ve sharpened their focus on Pokrovsk, with one resident saying the area is now “dead”.
Troops on the frontline in the region have told Sky News they are struggling to defend it.
Sky’s International Correspondent Alex Rossi talks to troops and residents who remain living in the line of fire.

Just watching this to remind myself my first world problems ain't so bad…
Its terrible what Zelensky and his regime have done to the people of Ukraine, They jave been bombing Ukrainian cities since 2014 and yet say they love their people
All this destruction for some useless membership of EU AND NATO
Will all the pro war lefty’s pay for this ??
We have all been assured since day one of this conflict that Russia simply cannot win. The politicians, media and their experts detailed how Ukraine was winning, how the next offensive would end Russia. And we were confidently told that the next weapons system supplied to Ukraine, along with another few billion dollars, would be the "game changer". The bought-and-paid-for “military experts” who once pontificated loud and long and, invariably, wrong have moved on. We were also told that Ukraine was fighting for democracy and human rights, after the country had suspended elections, banned opposition political parties and media and detained Orthodox priests. And all that about the Canadian Parliament giving a standing ovation to a WW2 N@zi was all just an unfortunate misunderstanding, of course. Lindsay Graham said the quiet part out loud (12 June 24). US – NATO is in Ukraine to extract the mineral resources of that country. In 2021 the IMF gave a loan to Ukraine. One of the conditions for that loan was foreigners being allowed to buy land in the country; previously this had been denied. Now foreign, mostly US, corporations, are buying up land in Ukraine. They have bought and now control more land than Russia has taken during its special military operation. Is it possible that the US and Western Military-Politician-Think Tank-Finance-Intelligence-Security-Media-Reconstruction Industrial Complex has been less than honest with us? Surely not. Recently Boris Johnson hosted members of the Neo-N@zis “12th Special Purpose Battalion, “Azov” to the British Parliament. One hopes that they gave him a "My Mother is Ukraine and Bandera is My Father" patch to wear.
I don't have any military knowledge but Ukraine will never win a war against Russian
Ty Putin…❤❤
Feeling very sorry for these people, caught in the crossfire. Even this war torn landscape is almost a paradise compared with Gaza, but that is another story….
😂😂😂😂
US and NATO are playing with the lives of poor Ukrainian
Cry to your leaders .
They should ask Biden why he blocked the deal in 2022 that would have had them living peaceful and happy right now…
50 YEAR RPUBLICAN VOTING AGINST TRUMP. NO TO RUSSIA
Well, the Bfitish said, "Ukraine is a battle laboratory."
They dont need 'permission' they need western satellites and soldiers to imput the target coordinates on the western missles, which means the Western nato Alliance can't claim its a non participant. Ukraine is free to fire its missles wherever it wants. Just like it didn't need permission when it attacked the kremlin with drones.
Ukraine is paying the price of false aspiration of US & NATO. NATO & US is so irresponsible & actually evil. No idea why they are blaming Russia for their own behavior.
About time we had an actual Ukrainian reporting on their own news so it’s balanced
The "support Ukraine" fanatics are incapable of rational thought and divorced from reality. They demand Russia just pack up and leave or there won't be peace…or to put it as a matter of fact they are signing Ukraines death warrant and total and complete destruction. But hey….freedom and democracy 🤣🤣🤣
Russia is losing. NATO an the us will never let Russia have Ukraine.
Slavic blodbath inspired by anglosaxon leaders,not ordinary people but leading politicians…
Peace had a chance but Mr Johnson and co wanted the conflict to continue. To think this could have been avoided by negotiations around a table.
This city of Pokrovsk might be more important than Bakhmut and more Embarrassing to loose…
Ukraine now has grandparents in the fight.
Sky news just doing propaganda!!
Russia threatening world peace and people think it’s funny – how pathetic !!!
Ukraine is losing
Putin is evil
Other people are suffering MR Zelenskyy living his best life and collecting millions lol. 😆 like trump said he is a great sales man.
WHO GIVES A SHEET?
Russia has a right to defend itself. Be consistent.
Just say the city has been captured by powerful Russia army.
I never knew that flying shovels could dig up so much earth.
