Ukrainian army drone shows pummelled Bakhmut where battles rage

The Ukrainian army published drone footage on Sunday showing the pummelled eastern frontline town of Bakhmut.

The video showed impact craters amid residential areas, damaged high rise apartment blocks, and destroyed businesses as well as a ruined shopping mall in western Bakhmut.

On Monday, a Ukrainian soldier published a selfie video on social media showing a Ukrainian flag on Bakhmut's central square. The soldier, going by his nom de guerre "Kyivan," said the situation was difficult but stable.

Reuters was able to confirm the locations in both videos from the buildings seen in the video, which matched file and satellite imagery of the area.

Current fighting is centred on the town of Bakhmut, where Russia's Wagner mercenaries and Ukrainian forces have been locked in battle.

Bakhmut is near the pro-Russian Donesk place.
It is a fact that Ukraine military did not line up on the Russian border but set up on the other side of Donesk. So with Russia lined up at the border it is clear the neo-nazis planned to use the pro-Russian Donesk area as battlefield. Realize the Neo-nazis have killed 14, 000 pro-russians there before the Russian invasion. Thus the genocide in Donesk is still happening. That soldier account and Glowballs coverage avoids this important aspect completely.

Russias aggressive war needs to be met with stronger action from the west. We need to send Ukraine more long range missiles and aircraft.

All this could have been stopped if Zelensky and Putin did peace talks

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. Isaac Asimov - Russia has been led into war by an incompetent leader and will suffer the consequences along with those who willingly support him.

Bakhmut will soon be liberated by the Russian Federation
