A harrowing TV news report showed frozen Russian soldiers lying dead across a battlefield as Ukrainian forces vowed to fight on.
BBC correspondent Quentin Sommerville presented amongst a dozen corpses at a petrol station garage on the frontline near Kharkiv.
Ukrainian soldiers said they were "fighting like lions" as Mr Sommerville revealed some of the dead soldiers lying dead in the snow.
It comes as Ukraine continues to delay the Russian advance, with reports of plunging morale among the Kremlin’s troops.
In the BBC’s latest report from the frontline, one Ukrainian soldier said: “The Russians are fighting like soldiers of 1941.
“They are attacking just like in front, they don’t do any manoeuvres. They have a lot of people, tanks and vehicles but we are fighting for our land and we are protecting our families.
“It doesn’t matter how they fight, we fight like lions and they won’t win.”
A 21-year-old Ukrainian soldier told the BBC that the Russians were just 900 metres away from them on the frontline, according to Mirror Online.
Meanwhile, a civilian who almost reached Ukrainian lines was seen lying dead in the middle of the road.
The BBC report also showed a huge explosion in Kharkiv and the devastation caused to the city.
Mr Sommerville managed to enter the besieged city and footage showed buildings that were gutted by Russian shelling, with debris left outside.
A huge plume of black smoke poured into the sky behind the BBC correspondent as he walked through the city’s shattered streets.
