The Russians claim to have seized control of the symbolic town of Bachmout in Ukraine. However, fighting continues in the city’s suburbs while there is still a small resistance nose.
France 2 teams followed the Ukrainian 57th Brigade. The task of these soldiers is to protect the few square kilometers recaptured from the Russians on the northern flank of Bachmout (Ukraine). These shots are also intended to prevent the further advance of the Russian army. “We would like to cut them off,” says the commander. Inside the city, Kiev’s troops control almost nothing, although a handful of Ukrainian fighters are fighting in the ruins.
General exhaustion of Ukrainian soldiers
The exhaustion is also felt among the Ukrainian tankers. The Battle of Bakhmout is their nightmare. Your morals are not the highest. “We’re being bombed, we’re bruised, we’re experiencing great shocks, but we have to come to our senses,” explains one of them. The modern tanks stand in the background, awaiting the grand offensive. The battle over the Bachmout rubble is not over yet, while according to American intelligence services there are already 100,000 dead and wounded on the Russian side, concludes Maryse Burgot.
