As Russian forces continue to advance in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, drone footage shows the devastation dealt to the Ukranian village of Ocheretyne.

According to Ukrainian military officials, the Russians have gained a “foothold” in Ocheretyne, which had a pre-war population of about 3,000 people.

Authorities say despite this, the fighting continues.

No buildings within the village of Ocheretyne appeared to have been left untouched by the fighting.

Most structures, including houses, apartment blocks and other buildings look damaged beyond repair, and many houses having been reduced to piles of wood and bricks.
