The Ukrainian army is determined to slow down Russia's steady advance in the country’s eastern Donbas region as Moscow concentrates its efforts on encircling the area. Reporting from the northwestern frontline in the Donbas, FRANCE 24's Jonathan Walsh and Amar al Hameedawi followed the Karpatska Sich battalion as they fight to halt the Russian advance.
Karpatska Sich is one of the many nationalist battalions born out of the 2014 Maidan protest movement and has now been integrated into the Ukrainian army.
