Body camera footage shows the moment Ukrainian soldiers burst forward in a charge across no man’s land, pinning down enemies before breaching a position near Bakhmut.
Gunfire is heard as members of the 24th Assault Battalion Aidar move across open ground, suppressing opposing forces with a spray of automatic fire as they push towards cover.
The men take brief respite, stacking up against a wall as another soldier looks to breach one of the buildings.
The Battalion is on the frontline of the city, fighting for control of the region which has been the longest-running and bloodiest battle of Moscow’s invasion.
Ukraine said today that Russia’s Wagner mercenary group, which has claimed to be leading Moscow’s charge for the industrial city, was pushing forward into the industrial city.
‘Wagner assault units are advancing from several directions, trying to break through our troops’ defensive positions and move to the centre of the city,’ the Ukrainian military said in a morning briefing. ‘In fierce battles, our defenders are inflicting significant losses on the enemy.’
Russia suffered its deadliest day of the war over the weekend with 1,090 claimed to have died on Saturday amid the desperate push for control of the city.
He added: ‘The closer we are to the city centre, the more difficult the battles get and the more artillery there is... Ukrainians are throwing endless reserves [at the fight].’
Ukraine has said its strategy with the defence of Bakhmut is to degrade Russia’s ability to launch any further offensive in the coming months and buy time to ready its bid to recapture ground.
Russian ‘human wave’-style attacks have rapidly depleted forces in recent months.
Russia is reported to have lost about 159,800 personnel, 3,474 tanks and 6,774 armoured combat vehicles since the start of the war, as of 13 March 2023.
Last week, elite armoured divisions were reported to have mutinied, tasked with another suicidal drive forward in Vuhledar, also in Donetsk.
The Ukrainian defenders claimed last week that Russia’s best units are pinned down in Bakhmut and said that they intend to continue to hold on, despite NATO warnings the city could fall within days.
Russia’s Wagner Group has reportedly been able to open recruitment centres to maintain the push into Bakhmut, despite intelligence that Prigozhin has likely lost access to recruiting from Russian prisons due to his ongoing clashes with the Russian MoD.
Russian forces have been conducting assault operations on the city of Bakhmut since August 2022.
By December, Zelensky reported that Russian shelling had turned the city into ‘burnt ruins’.
The slow war of attrition pushed both sides into murky, sodden trenches through the winter, hammered by artillery and trapped in close quarter battle (CQB) engagements.
Kyiv has cautioned that the city’s fall would give Russian forces a clear path into the contested Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, which the Kremlin claimed to annex last year.
The victory for Putin would also offer a symbolic victory after being largely repelled from Ukraine in the early months of the war.
In mid-January, Russian forces celebrated the capture of the small town of Soledar to Bakhmut’s north.
The Ukrainian retreat at the end of January, deemed necessary to ‘preserve our personnel’, edges Russian forces further west.
The Russian victory over Soledar came at the cost of ‘colossal resources in lives and equipment’, said military command spokesperson Colonel Sergei Cherevaty.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, now more than a year old, has seen arms imports into Europe almost double in 2022, driven by massive shipments to Kyiv, which has become the world’s third-largest arms destination, researchers said Monday.
‘The invasion has really caused a significant surge in demand for arms in Europe, which will have further effect and most likely will lead to increased arms imports by European states,’ Pieter Wezeman, a senior researcher at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), told AFP.
Russia’s attack has had ‘devastating’ consequences for children in residential institutions, with thousands transferred to occupied territories or to Russia, Human Rights Watch also said Monday.
‘This brutal war has starkly shown the need to end the perils faced by children who were institutionalised,’ said Bill Van Esveld, associate children’s rights director at the New York-based organisation.
At least several thousand children have been transferred to Russia or occupied territories, the report said.
Is there ammunition for the doomed Russian outdated tanks? Remember, last week you were trumpeting the Russian infantry had no ammunition. I’m assuming all of those Russians from last week’s disinfo must be dead or captured. Is this the last stand for Putin? All infantry gone, only outdated tanks left to save Russia. You are as credible as a climate change fanatic. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt since you’re not making money of the Uke corruption scam and color you useful idiot.
