Footage shows fierce battle in eastern Ukrainian city Bakhmut

Footage released by a unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on March 11, 2023 shows fierce battle between the Ukrainian Army and Russia's Wagner mercenaries in the bitterly-contested Bakhmut, a city in eastern Ukraine.
The fight in Bakhmut has bought time to plan a future counteroffensive against Russia's forces, said Oleksandr Syrsky, the commander of Ukraine's ground forces.
He said the conflict which has become the longest over a city in Ukraine was necessary to restock ammunition and to draw out a strategy for the next phase of the war.
The Bakhmutka River in the centre of Bakhmut now marks the front line. Ukrainian forces hold the west of the town and have demolished key bridges over the river.

[@gregmasters8558]

​@@BILL_BO_jangles it was a staged shootout. I've noticed when it comes to propaganda Russia is far inferior compared to NATO backed Ukraine in the propaganda war. I mean people ignored the bombing and massacres in donbass by Ukrainian government but they go mad once Russia intervenes. God knows who is right and I am not for Ukraine. They are known for neo Nazism some even sided with Hitler in WW2.
