«I’ll probably miss this place at home», a senior artillery technician tells us. We hear this phrase through the sounds of tank shots. Fortunately, ours. The brigade we came to visit had been working near Bakhmut for more than a month. Now it’s the most difficult section of the front. Unlike other positions, where the Ukrainian army has moved from defense to offensive - here they are still defending, and the Russians, whose basis in this area are mercenaries from the groups like Wagner and Liga, are endlessly trying to break through the Ukrainian defense here, in one place and in another. From a military point of view, there is not much logic in this now, but artillerymen explain these attempts to attack by the fact that the Russians need wins somewhere. This brigade is trying its best not to give Russia any wins. And all it at a high cost. A week ago, two artillery crews were knocked out due to shelling, the best fighters were killed, and this is what their comrades, who are almost all wounded, have to live and fight with.
