Tea-breaks and terror: scenes from Ukraine’s last-ditch stand in Bakhmut

are among those currently fighting to hold the city of Bakhmut. The unit grew out of a volunteer militia that was established when Russia invaded eastern Ukraine in 2014, though it’s been reconstituted since then and brought under the control of the Ministry of Defence.

. Now, as the battle in Bakhmut drags on, they seem tired. They have seen people die, they have killed, they have lost brothers. I can see their hearts are heavier. But they have also become more skilled.volunteers One night when I was in the city with the Chechens we got an order to evacuate. The street lights don’t work any more and we had to drive on the dark roads without headlights: to be seen would mean getting shot.

It rained all day yesterday, so the trenches will probably be flooded now. The wet soaks everything, your clothes, your shoes. Carrying my camera, my bullet-proof vest and my backpack – much less than a soldier’s load – I sometimes found it almost impossible to move through the mud. But when you’re told to move you have to do it quickly. Between different positions there is little to protect you from the Russian snipers a few hundred metres away.

Azov’s heroic stand in Mariupol? When was that?

HOW CAN WE AS A WORLD SELL MORE MISSILES FOR RAYTHEON

Ufff ... Si la muerte no está cerca... Y además a lo pendejo... Ese pinche Putin si que es putito!!! Ashhh

Yes, everyone knows what it's like inside a drum...duh...

Ukrayna Bakmut, ABD,İNGİLTERE,G7,AB'nin ekonomilerini silkelemeye başladı.!

Sad but ECFR is spot on: • US & Europe want Ukraine to win & Russia to lose, even if the war carries on longer & more Ukrainians getting killed or displaced. • China, India & Turkey want the war to end now – even if Ukraine has to give up territory.

It's another BANKER WAR ! ...we do NOT need to be there at all ! How much have Americans been abused by as to STOLEN WEALTH that should have been used for just our failing infrastructure ?

🤔🤔

May these guys catch a break and eventually a win and a chance to go home on their own two feet.

But Russia has run out of ammo every month for the last 12 months. I'm so confused now.

Όπως είναι σε κάθε πόλεμο. Συμβαίνει κάτι διαφορετικό εκεί?

That sucks.....so anyway, back to AMERICAS problems.....

Ukraine war: Why Bakhmut matters for Russia and UkraineTens of thousands have died fighting for a city with little strategic value. Why? Hopefully Russia can liberate it soon enough.
