Whole houses are not left: Bakhmut's video appeared that the Armed Forces are storming the fifth month

According to military experts, Russia has concentrated all possible forces on the capture and destruction of Bakhmut, although it has no particular strategic importance. The Russian military permanent shelling practically destroyed the city of Bakhmut in Donetsk region. A video on which the city was shot from a bird's view was posted by a local telegram. The footage shows that there are no whole residential buildings in the city: neither private nor multi -storey buildings.

Instead of residential areas - skeletons destroyed by artillery of apartment buildings. Only the foundations remain from some homes. It should be noted that Russian invaders have been trying to storm Bakhmut for five months. Bakhmut is a city in Donetsk region of Ukraine, the administrative center of Bakhmut district and Bakhmut city community. Prior to the consolidation of the same name in 2020, he was its center, but was not part of it, being a city of regional importance.

It was founded in 1571 as a border "Bakhmutskaya guard", which later turned into a fortified Slobidka. In 1783, Bakhmut received the status of a city. In 1924 he was renamed to Artemivsk in honor of the Soviet statesman FA Sergeyev, known for the pseudonym Artem. After decommunization in 2016, the city got back its historical name.

Prior to a full -scale war with the Russian Federation in Bakhmut, there were enterprises engaged in the extraction of stone salt, production of building materials, mechanical engineering. The city also housed the largest enterprise in Eastern Europe for the production of sparkling wines by the classic bottle method. City districts connected city buses and trolleybuses. Bakhmut population as of June 1, 2017 amounted to 75. 9 thousand people.

Recall that Bakhmut and Kreminna fights became the hottest in eastern Ukraine. Ukrainian troops are located for kilometers from Kreminna, where there will be a direct access to Severodonetsk. Meanwhile, the Russian Armed Forces slowly moves to Bakhmut. A little earlier, the OP advised the Russians to forget about the capture of Bakhmut. According to Mikhail Podolyak, Russia throws a lot of forces to capture the city, although it does not constitute strategic value for it.
