- Published on Mar 27, 2023 veröffentlicht
- Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine has become the symbol of the Ukrainian resistance. Despite months of intense fighting and likely tens of thousands of deaths, Ukraine is still holding on. Some in the West have criticized the Ukrainian leadership saying the town is no longer worth the cost in human life it claims. DW correspondent Max Zander went to the frontline to find out directly from the soldiers fighting for Bakhmut.

#Bakhmut #Ukraine #Russia
The tears of that soldier, broke my heart...So many lifes lost...so much destruction...
@Human Beings R Thinking Beings we smoked in the evening and then they were gone
That's war. Brutal, bloody, costly and ultimately pointless.
These guys are beyond brave. Total respect to them all.
💙💛🙏Slava Ukraine and the Brave Heroes fighting for their Country and their Freedom 💙💛🙏God bless and protect them and their Country and lead them to VICTORY 🙏💙💙💛💛🇺🇦❤️🇵🇹
@Human Beings R Thinking Beings you seems lost -- smoking something?
Ahh...like anybody cares of your respect...
Brave for American money
The emotion of the soldier that lost his fighting friends brought tears to our eyes and sorrow to our heart. We must not forget that Ukraine is suffering and will for years from these horrific terrorist russian attacks. We must continue to support Ukraine in any way we can.....these peaceful people are so more deserving of all the help...they must not feel they are alone...we must continue to support Ukraine. 💝🇨🇦. 💙💪🇺🇦
LOL fighting Friends 😂😂😂
All mothers says if you go by Gun then you surely die by Gun.. 💯😂😂🤡🤡🤡
If two MEN has a dispute they use just physical hands/Punches with minimal destruction... 💯🤡🤡😂
"We must not forget that Ukraine is suffering"
*Two lines after*
"We must continue support Ukraine in any way we can"
Support them for what? For more suffering? Choose one narrative, pal
@O'Connor clearly, as no support and Ukrainian defeat means even more sorrow and misery under Russian boot
Boo hoo 😂
Wishing everyone safe and that war ends soon.
it will when crimea is freed later this year.
@The Rogue Empire Ezekiel 38 and 39 KJV
that is not a war that will EVER end...
@The Rogue Empire hahhaa
Everyone is safe. One of the "safest" wars ever!
Please stay safe. You are the strongest man on the planet! My Polish respect to all Ukrainian man and woman.
Have you heard of the palestinians?
@relaxing sounds Wrong color of ppl for media coverage bro. Heard of Myanmar?
Hardship is clear, but they keep on fighting in what they believe, a lot of respect for these guys
need not only another 3000 tanks now to really make a difference! but also need 300 000 volunteers in meatgrinder. why dont u?
the Chinese leader did not join Zelensky's plan for the peaceful annexation of Crimea and the murder of two million inhabitants of Crimea, why not u?
Misguided believe? 🤔
That's what happens when war mongers use you
Slava Ukraini! God bless Ukraine and its people.
May God protect them and keep them safe.....""Power to the People of Ukraine""...🇺🇦🇺🇦❤❤

What about the Russians? God loves everyone, it does not matter their country.
Unlike in other wars where it's mostly the young doing all the fighting, I'm struck by how wide the age range is of the combatants on either side are in this war - on the Ukrainian side especially. Even more surprising is the anecdotal evidence that when it comes to junior leaders (junior NCOs & junior officers), it seems to be more the younger generation than the older.
I read an article saying that most of the army that NATO helped train for Ukraine is already gone. All the young soldiers dead, an entire generation, gone. What you're seeing is the B team, hence the older guys I think.
@Allan Maina they are being massed behind the lines with the new weapons over 100 modern tanks. Where did this report come from.
@Ninja Behind The Scene "Where did this report come from."
Probably the Pravda.
They did not have a choice; all men 16-60 were drafted and prevented from leaving the country under penalty of death.
@Ninja Behind The Scene How many are being amassed? Men (young boys and older guys) forced into recruitment!? They’ve burnt through their best troops already. Except for the minor couple of thousands scattered in training on different weaponry systems.
I feel so sad for both sides as they are both suffering in this horrific war without having a choice to pull out
Some real heroes right there, holy wow
The real heroes are becoming billionaires here in washington
This soldier has a soul. Even though he is required to kill, he remains human.
If you kill, you have no soul
♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️
I feel pain of Ukraine people, soldiers and civilians. May God 🙏 protect you
Everyone keeps talking about Bakhmut not really being worth defending anymore. They always fail to realize that if they fall back to another city, then that city will be massively targeted too. And so on and so on. That also makes more land they would have to push through in a counter offensive and more land Russians will have mined.
Attacked with what??? Shovels?
It's impossible to imagine this picture in any European city from Poland to Portugal. However many in Baltic states are thinking about NATO's ability to protect them.
The reality is Ukraine has substantial defensive lines that have been constructed on the hills behind Bakhmut. These would be a more advantageous position to fend off Russian forces and defending here wouldn’t jeopardize any city. My assumption isn’t that Ukraine wants to hold onto Bakhmut at all costs, they’re just trying to make it look that way. This ties up a lot more Russian troops that otherwise could be deployed across the frontline. Perhaps Bakhmut holds still because it’s a great diversion to maintain until Ukraine launches its rumoured late spring/summer offensive. Ukrainian airborn troops have just finished their training on British Challenger tanks and Leopards, and they’re wrapping up training on American Abrams. Meanwhile the first batch of Western tanks have arrived from Germany and Portugal, and many more are in transit. It seems things are in motion for something big in the coming months.
@Li F Bakhmut is mostly a wagner offensive. Majority of Russian soldiers have been hunkering down North and South of Bakhmut preparing for the spring offensive. The goal from what I understand is to get Ukraine to keep diverting attention to Bakhmut, which is working.
Extremely important story and reminds me still after all this time to keep continously praying for Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏 !!
Praying? Really?
need not only another 3000 tanks now to really make a difference! but also need 300 000 volunteers in meatgrinder. why dont u?
the Chinese leader did not join Zelensky's plan for the peaceful annexation of Crimea and the murder of two million inhabitants of Crimea, why not u?
As long as Bakhmut remains in Ukraine hands their morale will stay strong. God bless those on the front line and the sacrifice they make and to see tears is to see pure human emotion and Ukraine hero Soldiers are addament that they need to Win this war for the sake of all the fallen heroes and their Deaths are motivation for them to achieve that is not to forsake your fallen comrades lives! Glory to Ukraine
Fun fact: the Battle of Bakhmut has lasted longer than the Battle of Stalingrad..
Battle of Stalingrad is an all out warm world war 2 is an all out war.
And has so far cost more lives for the Russians..
@Joshua Ball dont compare past wars with Ukraine war. Ukraine war is not an all out war.
@the who?Russia can’t afford to.
Marvellous brave people fighting for us all against pure evil.
Nonsense . The rest of the world kn9ws better
Eh???
No they are not. They are only fighting to defend themselves they aren’t fighting to protect me or my country bud
Respect.....😢❤😢
Even in the face of death, respect
KrzRoaster .... and towards the cats ! i heard cats are misteriously dissapearing from the streets in Russia :(
Lockheed martin thanks you all
God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇦🇺🇦🙏🙏🙏
God bless Russia 🇷🇺 too 🙏 🙏 🙏
Heil to Zelensky! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
The mighty Ukrainian bravehearts defending Bakhmut are very strong and resilient. We pray for their strength, Victory and safety. Bakhmut is Ukraine forever. Let the Ukrainian mighty yellow and blue flag flutter in the winds of freedom and Victory soon, like they did in Kyiv and Kherson...SLAVA UKRAINI...HEROYAM SLAVA !!!!
Glory to the heroes of Ukraine!

So god will…
Respect to the heros of Ukraine.
Heil to Ukraine! Heil to the heroes!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Still strong my brother Ukrainan, world behind You and God bless You.
It’d honestly be hilarious if it wasn’t so depressing and sad that Bakhmut isn’t even the main goal of the operation
Bakhmut had a prewar population of 70k making it kinda small as far as cities go.
The plan was to smash through quickly thus maintaining momentum, to take the 2 remaking cities in Donetsk of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, which are
-much larger
-more heavily defended
-and miles away from Bakhmut
It’s like nearly killing yourself to climb to the top of a mountain thinking it’s the summit, only to see an even larger summit behind it.
The Russian used Bakmut as the perfect opportunity to decimate Ukraine professional army . Kramatosk will become next Bakmut therefore Ukraine fighting to hold Russia bsckn
@Z5 10000 Ukraine used Bakhmut for the exact same reason, and defenders usually hold the advantage in casualties in peer-peer situations.
@Z5 10000 You're right. Prigozhin throwing wave after wave after wave against a heavily fortified area was a move right out of the Art of War. It's almost as good as his other strategy of not having infantry support for his tanks. I've seen the drone footage of the marks Russia is leaving in the mud 😂
«В Гуляйполе местный житель устроил самосуд над украинскими военными. Один из боевиков Зеленского пытался избить местного жителя, но тот дал отпор, забрал оружие, убил обидчика и ранил еще троих его сослуживцев», - уточнил Рогов.
Киевские власти пытаются представить этот инцидент как бытовой конфликт, обвинив местного жителя в поддержке России и пророссийской позиции.
Ukraine reminds me of my State of Texas, an American combat unit isn't, without a Texan. Their courage is beautiful and sorry to see the terrible cost. The price of Love is grief.
Minsk 2 was the solution with no cost. Those don't look like from front lines BTW.
Seeing this beautiful land all carved out, littered with explosives is just heartbreaking 💔
Long live Ukrain
Respect for the brave Ukrainians
Heil to Ukraine! Heil to the heroes!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Such a bloody conflict. Props to Ukraine for holding the line, and Germany for sending tanks to assist them. I like that some of the Ukrainian soldiers are using MG42s. Even today, still a formidable weapon to fight against, and good for holding a position.
Sending weapons means peace! 🇺🇦 Ukraine above all!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
I am an Indian 🇮🇳... I feel so sad for Ukraine... I wish 🙏 Ukraine could save their Country.....
3:36 that look from the soldier to the officer says it all
the yonger guy is the officer?
dat controlled burst fire....tears, such is the courage under fear, far from family yet the death of the invader is the safety of the whole nation...Long live Ukraine!
1:55 That's a real man, 6 year old at home but he risks his own life to make sure his son can live in a free country..
Also I think it's time we moved past this stigma that men can't cry or show emotion, it's very toxic, if you ask me real men cry too, when it is called for, and this is definitely one of those times.
*Slava Ukraini*
Would be nice to move past the stigma that single women cant be forced to fight&die like the men. Either everyone or noone.
@DerEchtePurKus Frankly nobody should be "forced" to fight.
forced conscription of anyone is criminal.
@Kaiser Matt Tygore You're right too. This is what going on in Ukraine now. Many volunteers are dead so the army needs new soldiers. Special teams are hunting men on the streets and everywhere. Nobody wants to die especially when they see this tiny "drop supply" of weapons and vehicles.
@Kaiser Matt Tygore lol if only fairy tails were real. Imagine the allies had had forced conscripts in ww2. Lol Russia conscripts people every year.
Prayers for the safety and glory of Ukraine….🙏🙏🙏🇵🇭🇨🇦❤️from Canada
Am about to immigrate to Canada 😂
need not only another 3000 tanks now to really make a difference! but also need 300 000 volunteers in meatgrinder. why dont u?
the Chinese leader did not join Zelensky's plan for the peaceful annexation of Crimea and the murder of two million inhabitants of Crimea, why not u?
Good move for Germany ,and those efforts propelled by the new Minister of defence well and his words speaks with the actions.
Yes, I just wish we had been able to make that decision faster and deliver them faster to Ukraine. I blame our governments indecision and complex beaurocracy for that.
Even worse, the west has no plan for this war aside from 'support Ukraine'.
No plans for what the goal is and how to work towards that andno ideas for what comes after, win or loss.
00:55 70 years later and the H-Bandsaw is still a formidable weapon. Glory to Ukraine
And still cutting down Russians
It's Kanye's Buzzsaw now. 😂
@Lord Sesshomaru 🤣
This MG has a lower rate of fire than the original MG 42. It's most likely a Beretta 42/59 wich fires 850 rpm.
@Andreasarno Althofsobottka Thanks for th info, still very impressive to see such a cool gun being used.
I fear for the Ukrainian soldiers they have basically committed their army to the defence of bakmut and the losses both sides is awful the thing is Russia have far more people they can use I think Putin has used the wargner group as Canon foder to wear the Ukraine army down and Putin has been using the time to train new recruits properly and to build up supplies if we're talking man for man then Russia will win every time just off the real fact that they have way more people to put in the army I feel for the soldiers I really do the only way this is going to end is through peace talks we must push for peace as soon as possible
Well Done Germany and Spain!
Ukraine You Are Not Alone!
Regards!

🇺🇸🇺🇳🇩🇪🇪🇦🇵🇱😎✌️⚡🦂☢️🗽
Come to fight in Bakhmut! 🇺🇦 All will be Ukraine!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
At first I thought like others that it wasn't worth it, but Russia's tactic is to raze cities to the ground, so keeping the fight in Bakmut protects the next city from getting utterly destroyed. It's not like the fighting will stop if Russia takes Bakmut, it will simply move on to the next. Plus Ukraine is bleeding the Russian military with extraordinary effect.
Glory to Ukraine ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Heil to Ukraine! Heil to the heroes!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Based on their results thus far, I have total confidence in whatever the Ukrainian military leaders are doing in Bakhmut.
Very highly respected and appreciated
Those corpsmen wt the field hospital are saints
And so are every man and woman ina trench, forest, or abondoner building, may god be with you ukraine the eyes of the world have never seen a braver people
They're fighting for their own and families, peace , freedom ,they are heroes!
well they dont need to .just leave donbass in peace. nobody taking his family which i am sure on west side
@serz1885 That couldn't be Ukraine people's way in handling the national crisis, for certain countries it's.
but they keep on fighting in what they believe, a lot of respect for these guys
They been sadly forced to fight with suicidal instructions given to them by Zelensky. They are not happy with central command. All this is for show. Like Freddy Mercury sang "the makeup maybe flaking but my smile still stays on".
Germany needs to invest in its defense industry. This creates good paying jobs and they will be world class gear so it will be easy to export.
It seems like every Ukrainian is brave from the soldiers doctors news crew and civilian volunteers. Slava Ukraini
No they just got no other choice
Seems u don't understand that they choose the person on purpose to make u feel sth for em like any other media do.
Some people just don't understand why Ukrainians are holding on to bahkmut....it's not bahkmut that they are dieing for...it's the land where bahkmut sits on
need not only another 3000 tanks now to really make a difference! but also need 300 000 volunteers in meatgrinder. why dont u?
the Chinese leader did not join Zelensky's plan for the peaceful annexation of Crimea and the murder of two million inhabitants of Crimea, why not u?
Then why do the Ukrainians and Americans day that Bakmut is not important.
@Sugars Pillayto make RuZZ losses look grotesque and it’s gains trivial.
Russia is also in the middle of making a fatal error, as the ratio of lost Russian soldiers attacking is much higher than the number of Ukrainians lost defending.
Ultimate heroes! Real men and wimen fighting for freedome and a future for their families.
FEAR doesn't stop a WARRIOR ! IT MOTIVATES THEM ! SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦 ♥️
Heil to Ukraine! Heil to the heroes!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
“The less emphasis the Western media places on Bakhmut's strategic importance, the more important it is to Russia. Why would the Ukrainians fight so hard for it if it wasn't that important? It has devolved into a meat grinder, in their own words. If it wasn't that important, they could have given up and launched a counterattack to retake other more important Russian-occupied cities.” - Douglas Macgregor
They keep saying a Bakmut isn't strategic, but I think it is. Letting it fall would demoralize Western nations who are already running low on weapons to send to Ukraine and losing interest in the war. Ukraine needs to prove that they can win with the vast supplies they're receiving or risk them drying up.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏
I don't understand the idea "why do they pay such a high price, just leave Bakhmut" - so what's next, it would be easier in some other town or they think that the enemy will stop? it would only continue with higher motivation
The point is, you can fight surrounded and lose 1000 men a day, or you can take a step back and keep fighting for 5 times less casualties. That is if Ukraine cared for their casualties.
Glad to see Mike Martin providing analysis again, I always find him quite insightful.
so much bravery..
10:05 Guys, they're called _Main Battle Tanks_ and are the descendents of the old medium tanks from WWII. I don't think any nation really operates any heavy tanks anymore at this point.
Always depends who has to pay the price. Government giving the family $1 mil compensation might change the attitude of the leadership.
That would be great! The assistance comes from abroad anyway, it's free! 🇺🇦 Ukraine or death!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
The machine gun is a modified version of the famous MG 42 from WW 2. It's fascinating how history repeats itself.
The best infantry weapon ever made. But this time it is on the wrong side of history
@gdi wolverine male 2 sorry there bud, Russia is on the wrong side in this one, they invaded a sovereign state.
在这么继续打下去，估计要打到二战样子。祝欧洲好运。
欧洲，美国可是对南联盟，叙利亚，伊拉克，阿富汗，发动战争，如果都按照乌克兰的决绝模式，一直打到欧洲衰退吧。
Good for Germany ...thank you for the leopard tanks.,🇿🇦
Will burn …
Keep going Ukrainian heroes ❤🇺🇦 the Russian evil won’t last forever. Love and support from Germany ✌️
It seems the noble Ukrainians last much shorter than the evil Russians ..... as the artillery decides
@gdi wolverine male 2 Quality over quantity:)
Why do you call Russians evil. Read what UN happiness index is saying. Ukraine is happier than more than 75 countries.
Thanks to Russian bombs Ukraine is happier than many countries.
Why do you want to be a party pooper when Ukrainians are so happy getting bombed.
Read UN report before calling names to Russia which is spreading happiness in Ukraine.
@Rashtrakuta insensitive and evil comment, suits a Russian these days it seems.
“Whoever has Truth on their side, God is with them.” - Alexander Nevsky
need not only another 3000 tanks now to really make a difference! but also need 300 000 volunteers in meatgrinder. why dont u?

@eliot ness Russia has really tried Everything that's Humanly possible to avoid this tragic conflict (this Special Military Operation) and to save countless beautiful Lives and precious Souls, and to solve the problem through peaceful talks and productive negotiations.
@zakariye yahye how's life in your parallel universe?
@taekyon2 Russia can't afford to give the Ukronazis and their military and financial backers another chance, the Minsk 3 Agreement, to retreat into safety, to replace their losses, to replenish their stockpiles, and to rearmy themselves with deadly and dangerous weapons.
@taekyon2 “Russia is not Only demilitarizing Ukraine. Russia is demilitarizing NATO. The Russians created a trash compactor in Ukraine. And basically, the Collective West and NATO are sending Everything (All kinds of lethal weapons, such as Javelin Anti-Tank Missiles, Himars; High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, Abrams tanks, and Leopard tanks) they've got into the trash compactor to be mushed up.” - Garland Nixon
fantastic reporting. so impressed. no one else gets that close.
You've been scammed
Oh dear, not another fallen sheep.
Good men those Ukraine soldiers.
That MG3 is absolute badass gun. Slava Ukrain heroes.
Fighter jets that are supposed to be in regular use went down due to maintenance issues. If corruption caused all kinds of land and air vehicles to suffer so many maintenance failures, I can't imagine the state of their nuclear arsenal. Sure the quick responders should be in good shape, but I don't think their entire arsenal is in good shape.
Respect 💪
It's really god damn sad. It feels unreal how I can just watch Clip-Share now and someone else is dying in the same moment. This is not even the only bloody conflict of today.
Amazing report. That you DW.
Dios bendiga y protege a Ukraine 😘🇺🇦💘🙏
There are reports of an unfortunate divide in Ukraine between soviet era generals that want to micromanage every attack and those who want to fight in a more 'western' way. I also don't understand why is bakhmut that important for so many people to die, I hope it isn't a political decision because that would be really horrible.
And what on earth is "more western way"?
@Haru Krentz lol😂
@Haru Krentz KEEPING that freaking frequency OPEN and NOT like a tomb !
@Haru Krentz soldiers are afraid of speaking freely at radio because the soviet era skizos WANT respect , order and... bassicaly unconditional submision
Good reporting. Go Ukraine. God bless and protect all Ukrainian soldiers who must fight in Putin's war.
Zelensky’s been using teenage boys and older men to be the cannon fodders in Bakhmut.. its sad 😢 not sure if its worth it
Ukraine! Freedom! Democracy!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
You can see the stark contrast in how the soldiers in Ukraine are feeling compared to even just months ago when they liberated Kherson. They look defeated and worn down. You don't see the fire in their eyes like you did back then. They may say they still believe in what they are doing, but how much of that is just for the cameras? These guys really need another big win or things are going to get even worse for Ukraine soon.
Because in Kherson ,Russia didn't fight for it, they just abandoned it. Victory was easy .
Over here Zelensky should have done the same thing as thes Russians and retreat to better position , they did not. He has repeated his Mariopol mistake again .
@jvjd no, urban battle was avoided because russian cowards just ran away. But there were intense battles in the region during the whole summer that led to deoccupation
You try living in a trench for a year nerves on edge every day and night see how you look. You've clearly never even fought a cold off 😂
Big win, then what? Russia can always come back with more troops, more weapons, to destroy more ukrainian cities. What most of you dont understand is that Putin and Russia used to fight in long wars that could last decades.
Thank u Germany your siding in right place in our history.
Like usually wrong side!
need not only another 3000 tanks now to really make a difference! but also need 300 000 volunteers in meatgrinder. why dont u?
the Chinese leader did not join Zelensky's plan for the peaceful annexation of Crimea and the murder of two million inhabitants of Crimea, why not u?
@eliot ness lol, same mindless copy and paste from you 😅🤡
Well done to Max Zander, Slava Ukraini!!
Amazing the reporter said that the morale is very high. This is nuts. No war, no more deads.
Those doctors worth their weight in gold
Prayers to the brave soldiers of Ukraine 🇺🇦 that this conflict ends and they can return to their families. Utmost respect for their bravery, resiliency and love for their country.
The Russian Soldiers Motto reads: "We the Unwilling, Led by the Unqualified, Are doing the Illegal and Immoral, For the Ungrateful!" What could go wrong?
No one should tell Ukrainians what is or isn't worth fighting for. Its is their land.
As long as others pay for the party its pretty obvious that they will have a say in how long this will go on.
So do you suggest the financer for their weapons should stop also?
@the who? no one is telling Ukrainians to fight. Ask any Ukrainian. If anything people want them to surrender. If a country decides to help them defend themselves, that's up to them
@Popular Front Liberation of Bougainville Ok, thats not really true, i have seen several politicians in Europe who tell Ukrainians to fight. And its up to any country to face the consequenses of supporting war is my answer.. That has nothing to do what you wrote in your first post though...
So wrong. They must obey their boss command. The US.
No. Sometimes people need to know when it's a losing battle, and withdraw for another day. It's hard to listen to reason, if in a state of emotional turmoil.
Super effort Ukraine military. If you did not do this, then all the rest of us in EU countries and extended west would be fighting against the Russians. That day may still come.
i think about these guys everyday i am not a military tactician but i hope the Ukrainian military command is right about holding Bakmut
Same here! 🤞🙏
He's wrong
Hats off and respect to that Surgeon Dmitro. He seems extremely skilled. 80 trauma surgeries per day!!
Yes, no one would like to see their homeland taken away by anyone even if it a wasteland. Ukrainian soldiers stay save and god will bless you.
I had that machine gun when I was in the army - in the eighties. It is very robust
It sure Works as advertised
_Slava Ukraina._ Und danke DW. Ihr seid meine erste go-to Quelle für News aus der Region.
cheers from windy Vienna, Scott
"This is already the longgest running and bloddiest battle of the war. How much longer can that go on". The best way to save the rest of Ukrine (both the country and the people) is pussing the leader go to negotiating table.
🙏 stay strong 😪
Great reporting Max and DW. BUT - this war MUST be stopped. These sacrifices are UNJUSTIFIED. CEASEFIRE!!!!
Fighting so intense
Support for Ukraine from St Louis ...
As a Pakistani I fully support love and respect Germany and its beautiful people from Pakistan 🙂. May Allah SWT bless Germany and its beautiful people from Pakistan 🙂
Thanks to Pakistan for military assistance to Ukraine. 🤝
im surprised by the amount of older folks I see in military , especially for ukraine , would have thought to see more youth 16-30 , I'm sure there's a lot of them but these interviews are always the older folk
If not Bakhmut, where? Where should Ukraine draw the line? Ukraine is not fighting for Bakhmut (Bakhmut is destroyed), Ukraine are fighting for Ukraine, in Bakhmut. If they withdraw from Bakhmut, the next city just becomes the next Bakhmut, raised to the ground and the same battle yet again.
Crying is good and its healthy !!! Stay strong!!! Slava! Slava! Slava!!!!!
Every life matters yu save as many people as you can.
Call sign таксист telling us how he copes was a gut punch. Please get home safely
