Images reveal massive destruction of buildings in eastern Ukraine.
New satellite images from last week show the scale and magnitude of ongoing fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces in the eastern Ukrainian cities of Soledar and Bakhmut.
The area, which has seen some of the heaviest fighting since World War II, has included fighting by Russian-backed mercenary groups and the Ukrainian military.
Images showed thousands of bomb craters in fields and along roads and the destruction of hundreds of homes, schools and buildings in the two towns. Here the most intense fighting with very heavy artillery went on for months.
