Footage shows bitter fighting behind the front lines in Ukraine

I get exhausted just watching them fight through a soldiers eye. If you have not been in war you can't imagine the mental pain and fatigue these guys are going through. I hope they get some quality rotation time so they can unwind.

As a Finn, I can't help but compare it to the incredible odds Finland faced against Russia in 1939. I pray that Ukraine is able to sustain, as they have, against another Russian aggression.

It is really impressive to hear the yell of that lad firing the PK. A yell made of despair, frustration, hatred and fear. This is war taken to a level we don’t even want to fathom. Poor people.

I have no clue what those soldiers are going through? My heart breaks for them and the Ukraine people I have such love and respect for all of them

My Grandfather's family was lined up against a wall in their home in Bakmut and shot by Russians (revolutionaries) 100 years ago. He survived but saw his mother and one brother die that day. He and the other Mennonites from the area who were lucky fled to Canada. He homesteaded and raised a family with his new wife in Northern Ontario and was always a happy go lucky kind of person who never complained about the whole ordeal.

Thank you American people for your support. I promise we will never forget.

In a few seconds of footage, your news crew managed to scare the pants off me. I can't even imagine how bad it is right at the very front. Thank you for risking your neck to bring the war to our living rooms. Be careful out there. 🇨🇦 stands with 🇺🇦 and many thanks to the 🇺🇸 for it's ongoing support !!

when you hear screaming while firing, its usually a sign that soldiers are streched to the limit on how long this war last. Fighting in bakhmut and svatove is fericous is an understatement.

Mathew Chance has the biggest balls EVER. A living legend getting us closest to the front lines of 3ver conflict. sometimes I m surprised he's still alive.

Ukraine soldiers you are not just a hero to your country you are the hero to the world God protected all of the Ukraine soldiers forever .

God please protect the Ukraine soldiers in the front line. God please bring peace to them , bring safe to them and bring freedom to them . God Bless Them All .

more support for Ukraine!

Some insight on artillery. I was on the M198 in the 1980s. Each gun had a book where the number of rounds fired was recorded and a value was calculated on tube wear. Further, the gun tubes were scoped by the tech after every training exercise. If there were any cracks, or if the value in the booklet reached a certain level, the gun had to be rotated out for tube replacement. M777 barrels are titanium, the M198 barrels were mono-block steel. Reports are that even the new M777 barrels are starting to wear out in the Ukraine. A barrel that it very worn out can even burst when fired, if it develops micro-cracks inside from too much firing.

Stay safe there in Bakhmut The Flashback and all the other heroes 🙏 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
