Ukrainian soldiers sent to defend Bakhmut ‘fear they are being sent to their deaths’

‘When they drive us to Bakhmut, I already know I’m being sent to death,’ a Ukrainian soldier said.

Ukrainian soldiers fighting in Bakhmut fear “they are being sent to their deaths” amid a relentless push by Russian forces to capture a city.

Putin’s forces are said to outnumber Ukrainians by two or three times on the Bakhmut front, where an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 troops are currently fighting.

The relentless Russian bombardment has ravaged the city with soldiers fighting house-to-house battles in the ruins.
