Front-Line Defenders Standby For Russian Offensive Near Bakhmut
Published 1 years ago
Uneventful cell phone video coming out of Bakhmut captures Ukrainian troops standing by for a Russian offensive on the Ukrainian side of the Bakhmut "No-Man's Land."
There may not appear to be a lot happening in this video, but take special note of the ambient noise that's being recorded in the background. I imagine the situation here is much like the ambiance and feeling you would find in a 1917 trench line as Allied forces waited for German advances in small Belgian villages that no one had ever heard of before.
The primary difference between now and then however is that today we get to virtually sit in the trench with the fighters on the front-line instead of just reading about it in a newspaper weeks after the fighting had finished. Maybe this time we'll learn something about it and realize that these are real people with real lives having their life negatively impacted by a conflict that their politicians started..
Probably not.
