Ukraine war: A day in the life of last soldiers in Bakhmut

Ukraine's military has released footage showing troops of the volunteer First Assault Battalion on the outskirt of Bakhmut.
The video shows destroyed houses along the way and conditions at the frontline.
"Ruined houses and deserted villages. Thaw in the trenches and damp fields," the military said in a description of the video.
The footage was uploaded on Thursday but The Associated Press had no means of verifying when or where it was filmed.
