Compilation Of Reporter Flinching To Constant Artillery In Bakhmut
Published 1 years ago
A mashup video shows a Ukrainian reporter attempting various interviews in Bakhmut, but she is constantly interrupted by incessant artillery strikes as the heavy fighting intensifies around her. Many of those being interviewed are so battle-hardened and combat stressed that they don't give a second thought to the explosions. They also likely know the difference between incoming and outgoing.
Russian forces have reportedly increased the intensity of their attacks on Bakhmut and have also reportedly made some decisive gains; specifically advancing artillery to within range of the main supply routes going in and out of the city. This will make it harder for Ukraine to resupply and reenforce their troops currently defending the city as they become more isolated. While Ukraine appears to be losing ground in the city, they continue to claim that Russian forces are losing 500 soldiers a day. Those figures are not possible to verify at this time, and many of the Russian losses in the area are reportedly "expendable" prisoners that were recruited into the Wagner mercenary army.
