In the footage released by Ukrainian authorities, a soldier is seen mid-battle with his back to the corner of a building. He turns the corner to fire off rounds at the Russian positions.

Bullets crack past his shoulder and then he shouts "300!", code for wounded-in-action.

"Calm down. It's fine. Everything's fine," the soldier tells his comrades as he applies a tourniquet to his injured le3ft arm.

Moments later the soldiers run for cover into an open yard as booming artillery lands nearby.

At least 12,000 people are believed to have stayed behind in the city despite attempts to evacuate the whole population.
