Everyone I speak to avoids documentaries like this. They want to watch feel-good moviess. For me this documentary and the 20 days in Mariupol documentary are statutory watching as a mark of respect to the brave men and women losing their lives on the front line. For once the brutality of war is not airbrushed and dead soldiers smudged out. Of 99 soldiers in this brigade defending 500metres of the 1500km western front 66 suffered serious injury and 10 were killed in action. We see people being killed, soldiers being shot at point blank range and frozen dead bodies lying everywhere. This is a nightmare for the soldiers knowing they could be killed at any second. I would not be able to cope with the stress, but these soldiers have no choice. It is amazing to see how humans adapt and make the best out of any situation. It is a war of attrition. Russia has the numbers and the firepower. Ukraine has to fight with teamwork.

Depressing, sad and brutal. Young men dying in a war they did not start. A honest look into life on the battlefield in Ukraine, the footage captured is a stark reality of life during active combat. Whether that's the way you must view your enemy, to death and beyond. Moving beyond words and very well made. This documentary is important at this time where Ukraine fatigue has unfortunately began to sink in but we can not forget them, they are not fighting to for their homeland but ours too. Truly exceptional work from the BBC for pulling no punches, this is where our TV licence goes, and well done to the brave young men for defending that forest, even at night, some of the the most terrifying footage ever capured. The last scenes were moving beyond words.

This is an unadulterated first person view into the lives of soldiers and a medic on the front lines in Ukraine's fight against Russian forces. Using GoPro cameras and brief interviews off the front line, a unit of Ukrainian soldiers gives a first hand account of life on the front lines in the Russian attack on Ukraine. It's a brutal experience that leaves the soldiers on both sides scarred, injured or dead.

While watching this I kept thinking why are these soldiers expending an ounce of extra energy at the risk of their own personal safety to show the world what life is like on their battlefront. I can only imagine it's that important to get this message out - Don't forget your brothers in Ukraine!
