KYIV -- The average lifespan on the frontline of the fierce fighting in the city of Bakhmut is "four hours," according to an American fighting side by side with the Ukrainian army against Russian forces in the Donbas.
Former U.S. Marine Troy Offenbecker, of Michigan, told ABC News that the situation in the city, which has seen some of the deadliest fighting since Russia's full-scale invasion, is "chaotic" and has been dubbed "the meat grinder."
"It's been pretty bad on the ground," he told ABC News. "A lot of casualties. The life expectancy is around four hours on the frontline."

Europe confirms Putin’s victory in Ukraine? ‘War will be over unless...’
Russia’s mounting offensive in eastern Ukraine has left the West in panic.
Good of you to cheer on the aggressor.
Hard to say. But the Russians probably have 500,000 troops mobilized in Ukraine. While the Ukrainians have mobilized 700,000.
It’s over. Everyone go home.
Hindustan Times.... The Guardian.... LOLOL
it must have seemed so simple to Putin 1 year ago
just a quick 1-month stomping of Ukraine, done & over-with before the West had a chance to organize ...
yet here we are, entering Year Two of this war with Russia still stuck in the Donbas Quagmire, with no end in sight ...
this will go down in History as “Putin’s F-Up”
Cannon fodder without ammo.
And leaked Ukrainian documents on Twitter and Telegraph, about 3 to 4 months ago (and before Ursula’s comments bolstering them though they were watered down came out) said Ukraine was experiencing 2.5 times the casualties Russia was experiencing.
And we now know it has b3en Ukraine, not Russia, experiencing ammunition supply difficulties, so we were lied to for months on end about that.
Yeah, moron, the EU’s High Commussioner Joseph Burrell, cited by both, is paid by Putin, right?
Prove that Burrell is lying or be quiet, Biden troll.
Sure, genius.
Ukraine has little to no ammo, the NYT says it’s worse than this, and you post those lies and no doubt believed the lie told for months Russia was out of ammo.
Try again.
Were we lied to? /sarc
America has been at war with Russia since 2014 after the CIA's Orange Revolution/coup ripped the Ukraine out of Russia's orbit.
Don't be so naïve.
Still waiting.
Read #12.
It is if Ukraine can’t get ammo.
And how long were we told it was Russia who had ammo supply problems?
Troy Offenbacker, Hunter Biden thanks you for your service to his paymaster.
