The main route back to Bakhmut has been lost to the Russians but President Zelenskyy's forces are confident they can hold on. However, the equipment Ukrainian forces are using on the frontline suggests further support from the West can't come soon enough.
There's an eerie sense of foreboding in the villages, towns, and cities of eastern Ukraine - especially those within firing distance of Russian artillery, and the fighting in the nearby city of Bakhmut.
The elderly and most vulnerable were slowly helped from the battered buildings as medics moved in to dress their wounds and inspect injuries.Even as we filmed the air raid sirens started again.Kramatorsk has been hit many times, but it's no less of a shock each time for those still living here. The boom of outgoing Ukrainian artillery is a constant, sometimes the equally distinctive sound of incoming rounds makes visitors like me look up and readjust my body armour and helmet.
More is coming but the sense I got from what I could see of the equipment on show just a few miles from the front is that it can't come soon enough.
