The eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut was the scene of the largest and most costly battle of the war so far. For more than ten months, the city was under the bombardment of Russian troops, until it fell in May 2023 despite the fierce resistance of the Ukrainians. The documentary follows three young soldiers a few months before the fall of Bakhmut: Vadim Adamov, Mykhailo Alekseenko, and Yuriy Samanyuk. Only one of the three men will survive the second year of the Russian assault on Ukraine.

    War is old men talking and YOUNG men dying!
  • "In war, politicians give ammunition, the rich give food, and the poor give their children. When the war ends, politicians shake hands, the rich raise food prices, and the poor look for the graves of their children." Serbian proverb

    It's a powerful reminder of how much we take our peace for granted

    As someone who spent 14 years in wars, you never think about the people you lost till the war ends because you are always in survival mode, then it will eat you up for the rest of yr life, and one question we all ask ourselves is why did i survive...Now I know never to fight for politicians let them go and fight at the front lines! RIP my brothers in arms.

    The family losing their only son at 34:18 absolutely kills me.... What a sweet, sweet couple. I hope they can find some meaning in the midst of all this. They should be very proud of their brave son, and his comrades.
  • Its crazy how good the young drone operators English is better then some here in US that grew up here.
  • I just want fair and equal coverage. No bull, just truth and fairness. This documentary is good
  • @Vincentizer
    This should have tens or hundreds of millions of views. The fact that the general population doesnt care enough about what is going on in the world scares me.
  • @Jensth
    37:48 "the other day, my daughter told my wife, she doesnt want to be an orphan." He even attempted a little smile after that sentence. Absolutely brutal.... 😢

    This was an unbelievably great documentary! It should be on all national television! So sad to get to know these guys, and their lives and wives and kids, and see how a 19 year-old has so much courage.

    I was in war between Iran and Iraq and I fought more than 2 and half year, as you know that war was from 1981 till 1988 but still I have problems with remembering how my friends died there! Those memories everytime comeback and make me really sad and I still suffering from depression! I believe for you going to be same, and you never going to forget it! Anyway God bless you all who defending their own country! Respect!❤
  • Yurii and Helena have a good son and it touches my heart to hear his love and wisdom. A dark situation but if there was one moment in this documentary that made me feel hopeful, it was that boy's words to his mother.
