Ukraine: Life Under Russia's Attack

A dramatic and intimate look inside the Russian assault on Kharkiv, told by the people living through it. When Russia began its attack on Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, in February of 2022, many people expected the city to fall in days. But the Ukrainians refused to surrender. Now, a new FRONTLINE documentary tells the story of the battle for Kharkiv through the experiences of those who stayed in the city, despite the ever-present threat of the war.
