Defending Bakhmut: How Ukraine Is Countering The Russian Offensive In The Donbas [1]

['Serhiy Nuzhnenko', 'Maryan Kushnir']

Date: 2022-08

Given that this location serves as a junction with roads in many directions -- Lysychansk, Horlivka, Kostiantynivka, and Kramatorsk -- it has become a vital, strategic area that Russian forces are trying to capture. RFE/RL photojournalists have been recording events as both sides engage in battle.
