#AFP Yesterday, we spent the day with a Ukrainian unit of Mi-8 helicopters at a secret base. Difficult to put in words their mission, the danger and the courage of these young pilots who play an essential role in the long-running battle for Bakhmut. So 🧶 it is !

#AFP Yesterday, we tried to get as close as possible of the main bridge of Bakhmut as the city is being constantly shelled. Special forces running the street. North, east and sout part of the city seem like artillery hell on earth. Sound on !

#ukraine #bakhmut The river that splits Bakhmut in two has become a key dividing line in the fighting. People living on the eastern bank, risk their life every day to get water, woods or reach one of the humanitarian centers for a hot meal, or some precious internet

#SOLEDAR Situation on the ground. Very bad visibility, snowing, near Soledar but constant shelling is heard. Ukrainian soldiers digging trenches on high position nearby while artillery from both sides are working full power #afp #ukraine #bakhmut Wounded soldiers are being evacuated from around Soledar. Bloodied helmets, bullet-proof vests and pieces of uniform are discarded on the side of the road from when they were cut from the bodies of the wounded and dead #afp #ukraine #soledar #bakhmut
