Ukrainian Scout Team Marches Through Bakhmut
Published 1 years ago
A helmet-mounted action camera records as a Ukrainian scout-sniper team maneuvers through war-torn Bakhmut as artillery can be seen and heard smashing the city around them. The footage was reportedly filmed along Yuvileina Street, which sits at the far west end of the city and represents the last few city blocks still under control by Ukrainian forces.
Although Russian Wagner troops are on the cusp of taking the city after a insanely costly near-year-long offensive, there have been indications the Russians are running low on supplies and ammunition while Ukrainian forces are continuing to receive new Western hardware. Additionally, the countryside west of the city is relative high-ground, giving the Ukrainian defenders an advantage that may slow the Russian advance even more.
