If Ukraine accepts the US鈥檚 ceasefire plan, the city of Zaporizhzhia will be just 30km from the Russian border.

The idea of freezing the frontlines and ceding Ukrainian land to Russia in four regions to end the conflict brings huge pain in the city. But so does the daily loss of life over the last three years.

Today鈥檚 Anna Foster visits one of Zaporizhzhia鈥檚 purpose-dug nuclear bunker schools where children can learn and play seven metres underground.

She also talks to Tim, whose school is still above ground but gets shuttled regularly between the classroom and the shelter every time the sirens sound. His mum Natalia still believes he is safer at school than he is at home.

And Anna speaks to Ivan Fedorov, the head of Zaporizhzhia's Civil and Military Administration and a former Mayor of Melitopol, about the restrictions of living so close to the front line.
