A Ukrainian drone unit that calls itself the Peaky Blinders, after the cult BBC television series, has taken on the job of intercepting Russian drones over Slovyansk. The BBC's Jonathan Beale reported from inside the town in eastern Ukraine.
Slovyansk is one of four cities forming Ukraine's so-called fortress belt, a system of heavily reinforced defence lines in the parts of the Donetsk region still under Ukrainian control. The town has become almost uninhabitable, hammered by Russian drones, missiles and glide bombs.
Russia wants Kyiv to surrender the fortress cities, and those same cities now sit at the centre of talks on a possible peace deal. The negotiations between Ukraine, Russia and the United States resumed in Abu Dhabi after a nine-month pause.
