Ukraine 's most dangerous front line is near the city of Pokrovsk in Donestk region.

The city was once considered a relatively safe place, but now it feels like a ghost town.

More than three-quarters of the city's population have left, leaving it feeling like a 'ghost town' Medics say they recently treated 50 soldiers in one day - numbers rarely seen before.

Most of Pokrovsk is now without power and water, but the city hasn't yet been bombed out.

Most of the people in the city are tired and tired of the two -and-a-half years of a grinding war.

Some locals say it's time to negotiate with Russia - a sentiment unthinkable for most in Ukraine some time ago.
