Residents complain about intimidation from pro-Russia rebels.

There are numerous reports of armed rebels confiscating cars or forcing men in the city to dig trenches at gunpoint.

Some say they are afraid to report their complaints to the authorities in the self-proclaimed republic in case they will be targeted for further reprisals.

One resident tells us that many people still support the rebels because they watch Russian TV.

But she adds: "I also know many who hope that the Ukrainian army will come soon and kick the rebels out of here.

"But these people keep quiet. Often they don't even share these hopes with their relatives."
