Ukrainian drone shows devastation in Bakhmut

Drone footage released on June 22 by a branch of the Ukrainian Ground Forces depicts widespread devastation in western areas of Bakhmut, the Donetsk city that had been the scene of months of bloody fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces.
On June 21, Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Maliar said daily fighting was still ongoing near Bakhmut, with Ukrainian troops holding “strong positions, repelling constant enemy attacks and inflicting maximum losses on the occupier,” according to a machine translation of her statement on Telegram.
On June 22, Maliar said Ukrainian forces were blocking the advance of Russian troops near Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Marinka.
At the end of May, Russian forces, composed largely of PMC Wagner, the Kremlin-linked private mercenary company, claimed to have seized control of Bakhmut before handing it over to the Russian military. However, Ukrainian forces still held positions in the southwest of the city, according to reports from both Maliar and Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin in early June.

Seeing the ruined city in ruins is heartbreaking, just because the ambition of a man named Putin has lost all humanity that has made Ukraine like this.

When ukrain is finally free of the invaders this city should be left as it is as a memorial and to show that Russia can never be trusted

[cherylblackett]

[irmudjiman]

Sedih sekali. Kenapa harus berperang? Kenapa tidak bisa dengan cara-cara damai?

[rdandlong]

This is heartbreaking. I am hoping that within my life time I can at least see some gains to restore this and other cities destroyed by war criminal Putin. It is going to take at least 2 generations to get some small form of normal, but not like it was a year ago. NATO countries are at this moment talking about how much to offer to rebuild this country and get its economy back. They are saying about $500 billion. I say its going to be twice that amount.

Страшно видеть разрушенный город. Всё было прекрасно, пока европа и сша не залезли в Украину. эх...
