The eastern city of Bakhmut has become the most active and violent frontline in the Ukraine war. It is constantly pounded with both Russian and Ukrainian artillery, and infantry is fighting on the streets. Our reporters James André and Mayssa Awad spent six days inside Bakhmut. They followed Ukrainian soldiers fighting to hold the city and the last residents struggling to survive under constant shelling. This is their exclusive report.

There is no way to end this fight. Russia is being run by fanatics who are absolutely determined to swallow up at least a third of Ukraine before they even think of stopping this madness.
If USA and his allies will not stand firm to help Ukrainian army brother Russia will consum it!
Why did they fight inside the city in fact in the building mixed with civilians something is not right it seems soldiers using the civilians as human shields very fight.
Not even in the trenches the ukras get their boots dirty.
"My school was destroyed. School number 5." So say thank you to your Ukrainian defenders, if they had not been hiding there, the school would have remained.
We are waiting for a report from Donetsk 🙂
Failure is NOT an option Ukraine.🇺🇦🙏
Bakhmut, Soledar are largely back in Russian control. Have been for sometime. But like in Mariopol, Zelensky refuses to surrender, knowing fully well that Russia has won but he uses the lives of his soldiers for propaganda and bargaining leverage, constantly asking the west for more money and weapons. We have seen all this before.. no amount of money and weapons delivered Zelensky success. His big slogans of counter offensive stopped dead Infront of the Russian forces, and even the muddy fields Zelensky occupied, and Herson city empty now.. achieved nothing, apart from tens of thousands newly dead young Ukrainian soldiers.. often fighting against their will, against their Russian brothers. All true Ukrainians know that they are Russians,band always have been. No amount of propaganda and terror will change that fact, in the blood of the people.
Thank Goodness for Russia. The World's Public is cheering Russia, and will only grow that support..all the way to the Polish border.. NATO's deep dig in bunker, which most Europeans reject, and can never support.

This is too he best I have seen among the reporters so far. No bias and no propaganda
A lot of the Ukrainian soldiers are in their forties, fifties, and even sixties. They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for manpower. The Volksturm redux circa 2022.
What a horror! Ordinary Ykrainian citizens are victim. The geopolitical game. USA-UK-EU-NATO vs Russia.
Better than the fake BBC news
Thank you France24! 💙💛
When you start listening and following the US, that is when you lose control of your own interests. Europe is paying a big price. But the worst is the people of Ukraine. They are suffering a huge price, paid with lives, blood, and total destruction. When your country and people are destroyed, you're already lost.
Russia will be victorious its inevitable
Fake looped artillery sound effects
Why are the russians seeming firing randomly in to the city, can some one explain. It seems like shell are hitting the most strange places. Like so dudes back yard?
At least they were told the truth
Альхамдулиллах, да простит Аллах все наши грехи
That guy will join soon
The situation for Ukraine is like if 🍉 falls in 🔪 or 🔪 falls on 🍉..you can imagine who is in loss.
Bakhmut is russian
We have to get our weapons to the Ukrainians and stop this Russian land grab for raw materials.
With all this crisis happening around the world one needs to have different portfolio,I already invested in forex and crypto which are really profitable.

There is no electricity but lamps and new year tree and phones are charging 😀😀😀😀
A senseless war with innocent people paying the price
Very accurate reporting, the war is crazy, Zelensky will watch his country destroyed then leave with the American money.
"Bakhmut was a city of 70,000 people before the war. Now, it is a battlefield." I see what you did there
Please God send Russia home from Ukraine and stop war now!! ICN..
I am amazed, A report minus the usual cringeworthy propaganda. We see how divided the support for Ukraine is and the witnes the dehumanisation of Russian soldiers which leads to the worst human rights abused by the Ukrainian army.
God bless you all ukrine people's and soldier 🇺🇦❤️💪
Civilians ask for peace, but the US needs a long war in order to profit.
Just Trow Fentanyl to The. Russians and there will be not more shelling and not mor blood in this war
a bit of outdated news… this major frontline city is already surrounded by russians as of today. have some family there rn…and they guy on the video is right – once this city is taken, Khramatorks and Slavyansk are gonna be pretty much the last ones to take in Donbass by russians to complete their mission. Thats where everything began in 2014
amazing reporting…true war documentation… a credit to France 24
They will fight until there is no one left. It is a style of war familiar here.
"it's going ok", really? Ukraine has lost the equivalent of a brigade defending this town that will inevitably fall. They are being used as cannon fodder.
This is first class reporting and full with detailed informative facts, on the war of Ukraine 🇺🇦.
You are our Hero!!!! You are saving democracy!!! More heroism!!! All civilized world with you!!! Thanks to your heroic fight our economy is recovering, more jobs, more businesses, we will remember your sacrifice for civilized humanity, you are not alone: Indians, Tasmanians, many aborigines around the world all those heroic people contributes to build our beautiful world and we remember them, we celebrate Thanksgiving every year… God Help You and God Bless America!!!
In India vs China they fight with sticks and rocks
the salt mines belong to Russia now , Ukraine military have deserted their soldiers in the mines ,to die or be taken prisoner by Russia ..
Since the beginning of the conflict in Soledar, 25,000 Ukrainian soldiers and mercenaries have died.
This should be a guide to a bias media How to cover a story specially in This war
