the Russians soon masters of Bakhmout?

On Saturday March 4, on the outskirts of the city, a tank can be seen speeding towards Bakhmout (Ukraine). To the west, seven kilometers from the Russian positions, Ukrainian artillerymen and soldiers tried to repel the offensive of the Wagner militia. Above their heads there are permanent shots. They admit to being tired, but it is impossible to discuss with them the possible fall of the city. “It won’t be a victory for them. They’ve spent way too much effort and way too many men. I’m sorry they’re using men like that, like cannon fodder.”argues Vladislav Zelensky, Lt. Col.

A field of ruins

The Ukrainians have been resisting for eight months. Before the war, 70,000 inhabitants lived on what is today a field of ruins. The Russians almost completely surround the city. On Friday, Vladimir Putin’s soldiers succeeded in bombarding a bridge located on the last road still under Ukrainian control. For the moment, Bakhmout is resisting, but behind the front, trenches have been dug to block the Russian advance. There, we impatiently await the weapons promised by the West.
