Almost two years into Russia 's full-scale invasion, there's no flood of volunteers to the front line anymore.

Most of those who wanted to fight are either dead, injured or stuck at the front waiting to be relieved by new recruits.

Pavlo Zhilin is frustrated by what he sees as indifference to the war.

The security service in Cherkasy is constantly shutting down local social media channels.

Lilia shows videos of her son Serhiy in a wheelchair and skin grafts he's had.

But as soon as he's fully fit, he's told his mother he'll go back to the front.

"I think he has already done his duty," she says, eyes full of tears.

Inna can't bear to put her son's photo on his grave yet.
