War in Ukraine: Bakhmout, symbol of an endless war

It’s a long straight line, the road that leads to Bakhmout. Few vehicles, but all those crossed are military. In the back of pick-ups, beds and food. “We see how we’re going to get there“says a Ukrainian soldier, while the city is surrounded by the Russians. There are still 4 km to go and the news for the drivers is not good. “We can’t go on, the road is bombarded. I’m waiting for someone to tell me where to go”resigned a soldier.

“The situation is tense”

You have to take dirt roads, at the risk of getting stuck. A car was able to get out of Bakhmout. “The situation is tense, the bridge is broken there, we have to take detours. And Then, we will soon evacuate our guys from the city, we will take them out”says a Ukrainian soldier. From the hill, you can see the suburbs of Bakhmout, constantly bombarded. A unit, equipped with a drone, monitors the road while another tries to rebuild a road to facilitate round trips.
