The K2 Battalion of the 54th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been fighting in the Bakhmut district, defending its northern edge for 9 months. Battalion commander Kyrylo Veres, honored as a Hero of Ukraine, has been at war for 9 years. He has been fighting from the very beginning - since 2014.
Even though his unit is in a deaf defense here, and the positions are stormed every other day, the soldiers even managed to advance one and a half kilometers.
This result is a team effort. The pilots explore and, if necessary, drop on the enemy heads, the infantry observes and attacks if necessary, and the armored group goes to support.
«A battalion is a mechanism, like a clock or a car. And each part has to work. One rudder or one wheel cannot work, it has to work all the parts. And when everyone is working, it is much more efficient,» says the battalion commander.
One of the most famous videos of this war is also the work of this battalion. The footage shows the work of the K2 armored group while recapturing lost positions. When a Ukrainian tank first shot at Russian infantry positions from 15 meters away, and then drove over the enemy's position several times.
In our report we filmed those tankers, as well as anti-tankers, infantry and the commander Kyrylo Veres himself. You will find out whether the group of Ukrainian troops north of Bakhmut is at risk of being surrounded, whether the Russians really have problems with ammunition, and what the Kherson raccoon has to do with it.
