Left out of Alaska talks, exhausted Ukrainians fear an unjust peace.
Lee Durant/BBC Ukrainians are still training to fight Russia - few expect the war will end soon.
The continuing preparation for battle suggests few in Ukraine are expecting this war to stop any time soon.
The soldiers go through drills to hit fast-moving targets – shooting first from the ground, and then while on the move.
But some recent polls suggest that more Ukrainians are resigned to the fact that they might have to sacrifice land for peace.
According to the UN, more than 13,000 civilians have been killed in the country, while 3.5 million Ukrainians have been forced to leave their homes.
