A fierce battle for control is raging in the city of Bakhmut and its surrounding areas on the front lines of eastern Ukraine.
Russia has been unleashing its firepower on the city, almost destroyed and nearly besieged.
Its forces are trying to win a rare military victory after months of fighting while the Ukrainian troops are digging in.
Al Jazeera’s @CharlesStratford reports from Bakhmut, Ukraine.

God save Ukraine!
War between Slawin nations is brutal. Who need war for money? Who smilling? Washington.
The USA helps Ukraine with military help. Putin is a freaking dictator who has always wanted to capture the whole world and reunited the USSR. Putin is a problem
@Valery Ferry Whole world? You are crazy???Whole world want freedom from dictature of USA.Russia,China,Africa,south America ….and all peoples of really work in Europe.
Bakhmut is a Russian city.
It’s populated by Russian speakers and it will all return to Russia.
Dnipro is also full of Russian speakers so why they bombed the civilian house and 45 people have been killed by Russians ?
@Valery Ferry There are 14millions Russians in Ukraine and they will all be freed from Ukrainian terror. Nothing you can do.
Bakhmut is the hottest point in ukraine now. So mane soldiers are dying there every day. Russia kills civilians there too
No they don’t bc they are russians and can’t wait to russia liberate the city from ukraine ocupation
Smart way Always respect your Powerful Neighbour)
Problem is the Ukrainians have admitted they are responsible. You are purposely misleading, or so far behind current events your station is worthless.
Our arms deliveries have significantly changed the course of the war in Ukraine’s favor, and we must not slow down.
We must supply Patriot air defenses as soon as possible to close the skies to Ukraine and save the lives of civilians.
Dude, GTFOOT!!
I’m so sorry God bless you all
This is proper reporting
such a team of hard working journalists deserve recognizability
Mouthing off against Russia. Great! What about the past almost 8 years that yóúr people murdered Russians? How does it feel now that you only once tasted what it’s like?
Ukraine can never win Russia. Let this illusion stop 🛑
But the BBC has a expert in every week telling us how the Ukrainian’s are winning
putin is a terrorist
‘What happen in Dnipro is a war crime’ by the Ukrainians themselves, it has been confirmed by the outgoing Ukrainian internal minister that the distruction of the building was an anti-missile rocket fired by ukrainian troops against a russian missile which missed its target and not a russian missile. The minister has since been fired by Zelensky.
500000 innocent irakiens died childrens women’s all bomb from far away none of it ever got call a war crime look in the mirror sometime
11 million killed in Syria and yaman in 6 years
See the cameraman is not worried, he knows he’ll never die.
IMAGINE, UKRAINE IS WINNING THE RUSSIANS, IMAGINE IF A COUNTRY HELPS UKRAINE THE RUSSIANS ARE ALREADY, THE RUSSIAN SOLDIERS WOULD ALREADY BE IN BLACK BAGS…..😄😄😄, SLAVA UKRAINE, I FROM BRAZIL….👏 👏🙏🙏💪💪
Какие же вы лицемеры западные СМИ,для вас фашисты это родные братья.Пусть вас постигнет божья кара как и нацистов украины.
So sad many people are dying cuz nobody wants peace.
The USA and NATO caused over 65,000 civilian (combat) deaths during their/our ILLEGAL INVASION of Iraq and another 32,000 plus combat deaths in Afghanistan. So the US/NATO have no moral standing to pass judgment on Russia over civilian casualties.
Powerfull journalism
1:39 What qare you doing there? Get out of that place and save your life while you still can!
Those Western tanks will arrive too late.
🇷🇺 💪
Russian will win war. They are fighting against US , NATO tyranny.
Who is behind this war…? 🤔
Something is wrong , it is claimed that the Russian military is targeting civilian population , I think or I should say that maybe Ukrainian troops used civilian population to try and prevent or otherwise camouflage themselves in the civilian areas so that they can ambush the Russians or even fire machine guns or shoulder fired missiles from most of these apartments, that is why I think causes the Russians to fire on these areas. . I am in sympathy with innocent people that are living on that building , or any other building that is claimed to house civiliavn population
That fortress 8 years in the making will fall soon
7 thousands civilians only in almost a year of intense fighting? That is less than how many got swiped in a month in Syria! 🤔
Fake news channel like CNN and BBC
Evil America and evil nato destroying this planet . Every other nations are cursing them.
All thanx to Zelenski the butcher of Ukraine 🙏
Numbers are wrong … As of today there are 45 people killed in Dnipro by russian missile including 6 children (the youngest is 11 month old!). The search operation lasted three days and has now been completed. 15 bodies remain unidentified.
We can’t calculate the casualties in Mariupol where 90% of the civilian buildings like in Dnipro were destroyed. And people had no rescue teams or doctors to help, no water, food or electricity in winter last year. Mariupol is half million city… After Ukrainian victory when we get back Mariupol and would be able to find all the bodies we could talk about 100.000 civilians killed, definitely not 7000 …
As of the morning of January 18, 2023, – 459 children died and more than 909 were injured in Ukraine as a result of the full-scale armed aggression of the “best neighbor” country. This was reported by the press service of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine.
I suffer with the people of Ukraine, they chose an actor who won the election to create peace, instead they got the worst kind of war president who will make the country a new Libya that also that war was financed by NATO.
Are you rtarded?
Bakhmut Holds Слава Україні
If we leave it we retrieve it remember young reichss sick of Germany not fighting Ukraine is the new Germany also Germany if you’re reading you are allowed a military now go fight with brothers on the east front
Ukraine was destroyed by Russia. This is what whole world knew. We hope there will be peace soon.
GG WP
That was an Ukrainian air-defence missile in Dnipro.Just the usual misfire.
Slava Russiy
Do you see a Ukrainian Red Cross on an armed tank or a helicopter? Ukrainian Military are using them as transport. Every tank, military vehicle, and civilian vehicle on the air or ground must be destroyed. Do not trusts the Nazis, Ukrainian military use civilian, trucks and cars for transport, every video shows that. Ukrainian military use apartment’s building for command post, every video shows that. A cross on any vehicle of any color near a conflict must be targeted and destroyed. Do not trust the Nazis.
Putin is kaputt…Kaputin…
Jazeera is much better. At least it admits that after fall Soledar, Bakhmut is going to be in a pincer and it will fall.
Civilian building being bomb is a war crime acts of terrorism simply as that. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Ukrainian shelling supplied by the US killed 14,000 in eastern Ukraine starting in 2014.
what a coincidence that the camera was put on the house that was hit) local residents have already said that the Ukrainian military themselves shoot at Bakhmut at the moment when they bring journalists, and then beg for weapons with these videos.
Why didn’t your correspondent show us the trenches and bunkers that the Ukrainian army is creating right in the city, hiding in the basements of residential buildings? And where are all the artillery and mortars that are installed right in the city?
It was enough for your correspondent to launch a drone with a camera to show us all this. Moreover, it is not a secret. Russian drones show this every day, just find this footage in Telegram.
Wait!!! Didn’t you say Russia is losing? And that Ukraine has more tanks than they started the west with due to the number of tanks they captured??
So what do we called what is happening in Palestine?
“UKRAINIANS AS HUMAN SACRIFICES – THE US/UK EMPIRE & “EU GARDEN” PROTECTED BY LIVES OF A LESSER VALUE.”
👏👏
F….k. you. Russian low life
I wonder why we have Nato?
I guess nobody told me it was a Ukrainian bomb that landed in dnipro you can’t help it lie about everything
Stop crying and fight your only reportng hoping to get what you at war the winners get to decide war crimes and lynch people you better shut up and hope to beat a super poweryou tjink the fbi gonna roll into mosow and arrest putin and his generals u live in hollywood ukrain and the west better hope putin is gonna stop but as for yous dictating the terms ukrain left that to late now the way they getting blowen to bits theres gnna be nothing left ans the west will leave like afganistan and move on to china if tey get out of this in one peace
Boris Johnson’s totally responsible.
He destroyed the peace deal.
That’s the facts.
Your camera was directly on the building before the shell hit.
How convenient.
Well film the building ,you she’ll it and we’ll tell everyone Putin kills puppies and drinks their blood.
I’m no chimpanzee.
make peace talks in both countries don’t repeat same like in Afghanistan there was no solution, and in the end, American forces left after 20 years. wastes time and waste money.
Bukhmut belongs to Russia .. no way out. NAZI’s are finished.
How about the war crimes of the Ukrainian army & fascist Azov milities since the coup of 2014 in the Donbass, etc. ? 15000 civilians ! ! !
I’ll be so glad when this is over.
coming soon
rassia cupture bakhmut
glor to rassia
To the Last Ukrainian
Aljazeera is now spewing fecal-matter for the west. Propaganda, not news. That was not a Russian missile strike since Ukrainazis placed a missile system near this location.
No more Ukraine
No politics, no bullshit, just a journalist and his crew putting it all on the line to show everyone what is going on.
7K dead in Ukraine for a year long war? How about Millions of Iraqi killed by USA in Iraq???
Someone inside Russia needs to put a bullet in Putin. Or maybe a couple of them. He needs to pay for what he’s done to Ukraine, but I fear he never will. Russian cowards.
if they double the damage it will start resembling the many places destroyed by the usa in its wars of aggression against weaker countries
Slava Ukraine 💛💙
Hey guy’s this place looks better now than before the WAR !!! This place was a gost TOWN before , only old people over 50 LIVED in this gost TOWN 99% were alcoholics
USA has created best known dictator who killed democracy and own opposition. Zelensky of Ukraine, Shah Of Iran and Suharto of Indonesia.
I’ve listened to aljazeera arabic, they mostly show russian propaganda. WTF?
why not ukraine accept he lose.
No can’t do, Russia will WIN. 🇷🇺❤️
It’s one thing to destroy a city. it’s another thing to occupy it? Will Russians migrate their? They will just face more bombs
What Nato and US did in Iraq, Syria. Lybia, Afghanistan and lets not forget Vietnam, Loas, Cambodia was a lot worse.
russians comming no more joke
Stop trying to pluck our heartstring. Insead, you should consider that if the Americans were not pulling puppet strings from places they consider safe, none of this would’ve happened. Ukraine signed solemn agreements in Minsk, and then at Yankee goading, proceeded to ignore all of them and set its sights on its own destruction at the behest of a bunch of war-profiteering foreigners.
Very encouraging and unbais news
The Ukrainians are fools always was and always will be, your telling me you stayed in an area where Russia keeps bombing every minute and telling your self “we are ok” that’s just rubbish because your not build like superman to take bullets and rockets
stupid reporters ever she should learn history first before speak at least look how many Iraqis civilian has been killed by US?😤
Russia power,big knowledge,big skills, secret nation no propoganda real act, Putin rebaration all the world,step by step we are taking kiev sacred water, ointment water haleluya God listen to the good people,not looters like nato.
Thanks God Russia is moving to get victory, Slava Russia and I love Russia !!! Even though aljazeera supporting Ukraine !!!
I’m sure He is Arab Must be Grate
Ukrainians are brave but brainless.
You are all of people talking about brainless??
Imagine only 7000 civilians in a full year, yet within one week Nato killed 16000 civilians in air War campaign in Libya, and 40,000 civilian within first week in Iraq
Do you human rights people mention the 5000 ethnic Russians who have murdered since 2014?
These fools are not servants of thier own country but of US only
they say it was a Ukrainian missile
Ukraine and the US started an unprovoked war on Russia and their demise is inevitable. Life will never protect lies.
This war could have been avoided: Minsk agreements. But we now know, from the words of Angela Merkel, (Der Zeit) that the West never had the intention to implement these agreements. They were just made for the purpose Ukrain could gain time to get stronger to fight the Russians. That is the intention of the West : waging a war against Russia, espeacially US geopolitics, : fighting Russia to weaken it. But it turned out the opposit. Ukrain is ruined, millions of refugees, Ukranian army on the brink of collapse, Europe suffering an economic crisis because their sanction policy is backfiring on themselves and Nato is divided not in the possebility to do something against Russia. A complete disaster for the West.
America is the perpetrator of playing sheep between countries. America Destroyer of World Peace. America is the real Terrorist. America’s biggest criminal. Zelensky is an American Rotten Pig Puppet.
