Ukraine war: The artillery slugging match for the south will be a slow and deadly grind

The roads leading south are empty of cars. Fighting is intensifying here along this front as Ukraine tries to recapture the city of Kherson.

We travelled with a military escort through checkpoints, along desolate highways, to reach the slowly shifting frontlines.

The villages have all been heavily shelled – and it’s getting worse.

The roofs of homes have been pancaked by the impact of the explosions and the fences surrounding them peppered with shrapnel.

Nowhere is safe here.

But amazingly there are a few residents who’ve decided not to leave.
