Russian forces initially made rapid gains in the south, with their main objective being the creation of a land corridor between Crimea, which it annexed in 2014, and areas held by Russian-backed separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk.
Standing in the way of that objective has been the port city of Mariupol, which has been encircled by Russian forces since the start of March.
Russian forces have been advancing further into the centre of Mariupol recently and the city is likely to fall within days, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
More than 100,000 civilians are thought to be trapped in the besieged city and its deputy mayor says people are starting to die from starvation and dehydration.
Mariopol has been About to Fall for 4 weeks now, but the defenders are still fighting.
