BLOODSHED IN BAKHMUT: Fearless Fighters in Ukraine's Deadliest Meat Grinder | WELT Documentary
Ғылым және технология
The eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut was the scene of the largest and most costly battle of the war so far. For more than ten months, the city was under the bombardment of Russian troops, until it fell in May 2023 despite the fierce resistance of the Ukrainians. The documentary follows three young soldiers a few months before the fall of Bakhmut: Vadim Adamov, Mykhailo Alekseenko, and Yuriy Samanyuk. Only one of the three men will survive the second year of the Russian assault on Ukraine.

Thank you for this soft and respectful tribute to Ukraine's heroes! I'm Ukrainian and I appreciated the film, we also need such documents of our history. Apparently I studied together with Mykhailo Aleksieienko, though we didn't know each other. But a friend of mine once told me about this cool political science student and activist she knew from our studies in Kharkiv, and then she shared that he was killed on the frontline. So I recognized Mykhailo in your movie. Unfortunately Ukraine's best men - young, educated, English speaking, brave and dedicated to their country' future, get killed by Russia's prisoners and mercenaries.

@@Phil-uv8nq not really, but is amusing how much Russians think about America, like this is the 1960s again. Americans literally never think of Russia because they are a diminished power that don’t provide many goods or services that are useful. The only time we have to consider them is when they spaz out and attack their neighbor. This is their doing by the way - we tried to invite them into the international community in the 1990s and become friends once again but Putin wasn’t having it, because his feelings were hurt over the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Never again will we resume friendly diplomatic ties until he and his entire security circle is gone. That is their problem now

The war seems futile when you were born free as a citizen of the United States and your only experience of war is with hopeless, culturally stuck in the Bronze Age places like Iraq . Ukraine is a first world free nation with its democratic traditions going back to 9th century . If not fur the Russian invasion and subjugation of Ukrainians in the 18th century , then a lost battle for independence in 1918. Ukraine would has been one the most powerful of Europe’s free nations now. Also, the WW2 would not have started by Russia if they didn’t have Ukraine as their asset at that time . Ukrainians are fighting to survive as a nation and to free the rest of the world from the threat of Russian aggression

As if Ukraine just randomly chose to waste valuable artillery shells on completely harmless citizens who "just happened to be Russian". No, they fired back at a position that was firing at them. that position had been set up intentionally in an area full of civilians. Russian forces frequently illegally occupy houses and turn places like schoolhouses into forward bases, under the hopes that an elementary school won't get shelled.

@@backfischrittera good defense has offense. The problem for UA was not retreating and regrouping immediately once they found themselves in a cauldron with only one supply road. And yet… they did it, twice - and attrited the units they needed for any chance at a successful major counteroffensive. Not to mention, it was both too slow and too rushed. Too rushed for the anemic pace of Western aid and too slow for the construction of the surovikin line. 2 key bad things happened, imo. 1) Zelensky betrayed his people by involving himself in strategic military decisions. It’s like he forgot that he was a Russian language RomCom actor and COMEDIAN before being president - not a GENERAL with many decades of battle experience. It would be like me veto’ing my doctors decisions in a surgery. Pure negligence. 2) The west de facto betrayed Ukraine by withholding promised critical aid - while they gave themselves pats on the back and would peddle dumb lines like “Russia already lost by invading” - and “we’ll be with you as long as it takes”, whatever the fuck that meant. Signed - an angry pro Ukrainian Russian American. I am deeply ashamed of both of my nationalities in regards to this fucking mess.

The best documantary I have ever watched I really recomend anyone who has a crraving for war to watch it, it will definetly take out all the lovely pictures about war from all the movies we watched ... I am heart broken
Honestly its tragic what people have to endure for government and politicians who could care less about the people involved... Its beyond disgusting.
The average age of a Ukraine soldier is currently 43 years old. This is really something and speaks volumes about the Ukrainian youth who either don't share their elders' sense of patriotism or they don't rate their chances of survival. Most have skipped the country or using other means to avoid being drafted. Can't say I blame them at this point.

It’s not the problem. The problem is the Ukrainian government doesn’t want its young to serve. It is suffering from a huge demographic’s problem right now. Any more young men and the economy will collapse taking generations and generations to recover.

@BussySnatcher Young guys of fighting age are now being press-ganged by roaming teams of government enforcers, kidnapped from nightclubs, coffee bars, and even directly off the streets. They're thrown into closed vans and forcefully conscripted if they can't immediately prove their deferment status or ineligibility for the army. Many are not even allowed to go home to say goodbye to their families. And conscription is afoot for about another 350 to 500 thousand men of fighting age, needed to fill the gaps of the widening front and those already killed or wounded. It's not sustainable though.

What a powerfull emotional documentary. That mother talking about sending those pictures of food to comfort her son because she knew how important it was and worried so much for her sons safety. I couldnt help but tear up.
Incredible documentary! Much love and shared empathy for Ukraine and her Heroes, both fallen and still fighting. This was a hard one to watch, and just as frustrating not to be able to influence the decision makers abroad.

More propaganda for them to push out 😂
This is shameful. No one should encourage anyone else to throw away their life. And this war and the violent conflict never were reasonable or justified. Nor was the ethnic hatred which was promoted and encouraged, nor was the sale of the Ukrainian lands to WEF corporations. The lives of ordinary and even powerless people are more valuable and more important than the ambitions of malign and greedy sociopaths. Yes, war is indeed tragic, for all those involved, and it's also shameful, because it was planned and pursued rather than avoided. If I may be so bold, I'd like to suggest that the poor, ordinary people, are poor soldiers. Because they our not our best and brightest, most shrewd, cunning, intelligent and successful. And because although they may be easily duped into participating in the conflict, they genuinely lack motivation, due to their inability to properly appreciate the value of being able to establish one's dominion over the people within large territorial areas. And so, because of this, I suggest that only our "elite" should ever be involved in any of the actual physical conflict, and certainly only those whose net assets can be estimated at over $ 10 million USD, and even then, only if they are not personally opposed to the conflict. "Love is wise; hatred is foolish." - Bertrand Russell Cheers, peace, love and God bless

Over 700,000 ukrainian soldiers are reported as missing. So they dont have to pay pensions to the families. Only 31,000 have been marked dead.

Also a big problem is generals and officers report nothing and keep collecting the paychecks of the gone soldiers.
