Witness the shocking aftermath in Bakhmut as newly released drone footage unveils the heartbreaking extent of destruction in this once-thriving city. Bakhmut, home to 100,000 residents, now lies in ruins due to relentless shelling, bombing, and street battles. The battle for Bakhmut, often referred to as a "meat grinder," has taken a toll on both sides, with staggering casualties and minimal progress. Western officials estimate Russia's losses at 20,000 to 30,000 troops in Bakhmut alone, with a fivefold mortality rate compared to Ukrainian defenders. Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukraine's ground forces commander, emphasizes that the ongoing fight in Bakhmut serves as a strategic effort to weaken Russia's military strength.
