On the frontlines of eastern Ukraine, a fierce battle for control is raging in the city of Bakhmut and its surrounding areas.
Most of its residents have fled.
But some have stayed behind with little food, no water and no electricity for months.
Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford reports from Bakhmut, Ukraine.

Ukraine has spent 11 months trying to evacuate bakhmut, these are the putin fan club.

Is ukrain happy to have a comedian pupet as president?
un bel servizio
cio’ che non ci mostrano
se il popolo soffre invece di chiedere sacrifici devi passare alla pace
😂😂😂😂😂 🇺🇲♥️🇷🇺
Klischivka just fell in southern bakhmut, it will be in operational encirclement soon. People need to get out.
Lol they all want to be part of Russia. CNN told me they hated Putin 🤣
Zelensky can end this once and for all— negotiations!
He’s a muppet.
The Nazis already told him directly, that they gonna kill him if he dares trying to stop them.
But putin doesn’t want negotiations. Why is he prolonging this war? To kill even more young russians for his own wishes?
Putin wants piece- piece of Ukraine, piece of Latvia, Estonia etc etc etc etc
@babyfacemichael1 putin wants natural resources that the Eastern Ukraine and Crimea is full of.
The west must now stop Putin! how many more sufferings to continue?…stop him now!
More victims of misguided US exceptionalism.
Blame America and European Union and nato.
*Russia🇷🇺 still occupied oblast Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Kherson, Crimea.*
Russia must end occupation & peace!!
Why is Zionist zelensky wants to kill all of Ukrainian people with deception?
Poor sods!So in other words Bakhmut is gone !Bye
3:16 I don’t think she is referring to zelensky.
Interesting
I don’t think she is referring to Throws Men Out Of Windows – seems like your criticism is very simple.
@Mountain Nomad VFX lol
Ukraine should have not listen to US warmonger to go against Russia…. now they are left to fight alone and their country destroyed while US is profiteering from it…
All thanks to NATO and it’s allies USA and the puppet zelensky
According to USA and EU = The Europe problem is the world problem. But the world problem is not the Europe problem.
@James C see your white supremacist idea is showing. Lmao you assume so much i’m from the third world country. Keep guessing. I’m just here celebrating for every dead Ukrainazi mothers and children..You tried and failed before you will again this time. You can’t beat the bolsheviks. They are the true master race. So keep dying. From the Holodomor to now this 🤣
@Crymea a river You have a third world mentality. Russia is being BTFO by a military outside of the top 20. Unbelievably incompetent, just like yourself
@James C just your opinion, man. What I am seeing are dead Ukrainazi mothers and children 🤣and more to come🤣1st world country exist due to the colonization of what is now defined as a third-world country. Let that sink in.
@James C You live fools paradise. All these things are also done in China, India, Russia etc. Internet is not someone’s property. Why dont you understand we dont care about blue eyed white skinned nazis. Its good that we Asians are benifitting from Europe’s war.
Oh noes, Europeans see Europe as the world?!
Who wouldda thunk it eh?
F**kwit.
People like in Afghanistan and Iraq… Do you remember?
If russia wants to clear its victory It should focus on America. Without defeating America Russia would never be able to defeat Ukraine. Two third of the world population is with Russia not with America. Chinese government and whole Indians are with Russia.
Democracy not designed for on humanity right. It’s all about politician right
some one tell USA don’t do this
Tell putin to stop it.
Stop what?
These are Ukrainian soldiers fighting to defend THEIR homeland.
FROM RUSSIANS.
Putin for God sake withdraw from Ukraine
I wish You peace soon.
It’s zelwnski who fights with russia for his masters..

Starvation by America famine by America civil war by America death by America …why?
Starvation how?
Ukraine is one of the largest grain producers in the world and Russia is the one who occupied most of the grain producing regions early in the war.
Ipso facto Russians are starving them.
Esto quieren cosechas lo que siembras
Ebacuarla menos Charla y mas trabajo ebacuar es una guerra
Getting NATO troops and weapons on Russia’s border is costly.
Russian subs with nukes can sit 12 miles off NY,Miami , LA, Boston etc etc. They can sail up to Manhattan if they want to.
as we can see these people are waiting for the Russian forces to arrive as with many other areas have done, they will soon be under Russia’s cloak of protection and able to get their Russian pensions so they can live, there will be no peace with more nato bombs and these common people dont care who rules if they can have peace in their life
It’s hard to feel sorry when the Americans wanted war.
NEGOTIATE
Please remove ” his people” the right word is ” the Ukrainian people”. This war freak comedian Zelensky doesn’t care about them
Thousands of bakhmut happened in Syria due to evil ruskies n their puppets Iran n it’s terrorist proxies hizbeshaitan etc
Can’t theses poeple see what there president is doing them .they need to rebel against there president. Take him out jail him

Russian Defence Ministry Report for Thursday 19th January 2023
Can it be confirmed actually and factually by the Ukrainian side? 🤨
@Fikar Rusdiawan Go ask them.
@Fikar Rusdiawan You may have to wait a while for confirmation from the Ukrainian Martial Law regime for any negative news from frontlines. For Example, the town of Soledar, North of Bakhmut, has been under complete control of Russian Forces for a week – however, according to Official Ukrainian Sources this reality doesn’t exist.
The reason these civilians are not leaving is because they are russian speaking and waiting for russia to reach them. They cant go to russia otherwise they will be prison for supporting russia
Prison? More likely they will just get shot.
There are plenty of Ukrainians not leaving.
Almost like it’s their home and not the Russians.
The Nazi’s don’t let them leave
Wake up Zelensky. Russia is not a punching Bag, Putin will retaliate. Even you get back your land, Russia is not going to stop war and people on both side going to suffer and die. Zelensky is fighting against Russia, the whole of Russia. Russia is not going to back down and accept humiliation. The whole of Russia will fight Ukraine till the end. People are tired of living in war and tired of war. Ceasefire. Time for peace now. Peace is the best strategy.
Zelenski needs to evacuate all civilians from Bakhmut and its suburbs ASAP! I simply don’t understand folks who keep saying Ukraine is winning and their victory is imminent! The alacrity with which the Brits and the Canadians and the Aussies are supporting military escalation (supply of heavy tanks, for example) tells me Lavrov’s depiction of the conflict as an Ang…lo Sxon war against Russia may not be too outlandish. Of course, most of the Eastern Europe and the Balkans have been exceptionally belligerent against the Russians for a while but barring Poland none have the capacity to be a significant contributor…The burning question is how far Germany and France are going to go…
He didn’t evacuate people from Mariupol, why would he do it now? More casualties means more sad news in the media and more reasons to beg for more.
As a man in the video said, pensions are not paid there. People are abandoned by their own government.
@thetableflip they did evacuated people. But mariopol was surrauned within 3 days. Do you have any idea how hard it is to evacuate half a million people.
80% is already evacuated. but many people say, they dont want to leave because they are afraid were to go or leaving everything behind.
instead of america, russia dumped 80 years worth soviet cold-war excrement on it’s own slavic brother, well played 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
After disintegration of USSR, not need for NATO.
Right, just alliance that oppres other country alike attack on libya and making opponent
aperently not. Otherwise the baltic states would have already been swallowed by russia.
If Putin did not want to dig up the corpse of USSR that could have been the case.
Ukrainians suffering for a bunch of Ukrainian jokers 😭
This tv is a joke you can’t comment what you want
A d all this because an american hegemony policy and support of nacism in Ukraine to weaken russian dconomy and military strength!
Glory to Russia ❤
You are disgusting.
Tell the people of Bucha that- oh thats right you cant because they were raped, tortured and shot through the head with their hands behind their backs. Let me guess, your going to say that`s fake news Mr Moskva Sankitself .
Ukraine is using the civilians for pity and human shields disgusting evacuated the people the civilians but Ukraine is doing this for the world media so they can milk some more money from EU and American
Only ones that suffer are civilians. The proxy war is cruel!
What a drama. To become nato member
The war in Ukraine is meant to open your eyes to the reality in the financial system . Real estate firm and other businesses are also closed too ,, only crypto holders and crypto investors are spending money with ease .. DM me with your email to enable me guild you through on how to invest.
Wish the best for russia, had save russia speaking people of donbass from neonazi oppres
Russia has a strange way of saving people. By killing with raining down artillery shells on their head.
Zelensky stop being a puppet.
He isnt. he regulary stands up to his western partners, demanding more and ask for new sanctions.
Dietlof here…….for fu….sake SURRENDER..
Nag hihirap kayo ngayun dahil sa presedente niyong si zelensky 😭
When will the US, UK & EU stop feeding the “Meatgrinder”, It is a stupid US proxy war
when russia leaves Ukraine.
@s HNATO and US will exit first
wow…..a very exciting war…..I hope this war spreads throughout Europe & UK and lasts more than 5 years…great fan continue…👍👍💪🇷🇺 🤜🤛 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇩🇪🇺🇸👏👏👏
wow you are a prisoner of your own mind.. kinda sad my friend
@Zdruh not prisoner but fantaseur
It won’t.
Less than a year in and Russians are already at breaking point.
This isn’t WW2 where Russian commanders were sending people to die against foreign invaders.
This is Russian commanders sending people to die AS invaders.
They are not under any illusions of being freedom fighters at this point – any such thoughts went out the window when Ukrainians began repelling them from their lands with viciously brutal force.
but they said that they want to move to Russian controlled territory )) or even to Moscow )) tell ukrainean army to retreat and come true these people’s desire
By all means they can leave if they don’t want to live in Ukraine.
That doesn’t mean the army needs to retreat – it’s their territory not the Russians.
@Mountain Nomad VFX the persons who spoke about russia owes houses and lands there not the armies owe. armies can go back to what their property
2:47 wait so was the story in a Western media that all those who moved to Russia are “forcefully” relocated? Why this man then have a wish to be in Moscow or St.Petersburg rather then Kyiv? This is what people not understand on the West, most of people in the East Ukraine see Russia as their own country especially in Lugansk and Donetsk. Mariupol before the war was also majority pro-Russian among the regular people. Sad that they are currently stocked in Bakhmut in such a terrible conditions…
@Fikar Rusdiawan what they think before 2013 in Mariupol and all Donestk and Luhansk?? They wanted to be Ukrainians those days or not?
“most of people in the East Ukraine see Russia as their own country especially in Lugansk and Donetsk”
Probably because they ARE Russian and settled in Ukraine after the USSR disbanded.
Just because you happen to be Russian doesn’t entitle you to declare the land you live in Russia any more than a Briton can do the same if they settle in the US.
Ukrainians are Ukrainians, Russians are Russians – culturally distinct however similar they may seem to you as an outsider.
Those people need to just go to Russia. Can’t just make ukraine part of russia because some people feel like it. They’re from Russia originally. They need to go back where they came from.
@Mountain Nomad VFX Finally on here someone gets it. The fact that people don’t understand or choose to ignore is Ukraine became a sovereign independent state when the USSR collapsed in 1991. Included in this were the Tertitories known as the Donbas and Crimean Peninsula. Since 2014, perhaps earlier, Putin has been providing munitions and funding to the two large pro-Russian milita groups in the Donbas aided by volunteers from the Russian Federation. So in effect Putin has been conducting a proxy war against the Ukrainian government since 2014. If the people in the Donbas want independence from Kiev they should take up their cause in an orderly civilised manner not take up arms. Violence is not going to resolve anything. Putin’s invasion has been a disaster.
Many were “forcefully” relocated to Russia and underwent interrogation and not treated with respect because they were considered a possible security threat to Russia. Realising they had an uncertain future many contacted Russian and/or Ukrainian sympathisers living in Moscow and St. Petersburg who smuggled them to European countries such as Germany via Finland.
Why Ukraine army using civilians as humans shield?why use civilians residence to as cover?
No Leopard and No Abrams will be send to Ukrainian Banderas 😭😭😭
This comment will age like milk
Funny they want to go to MOSCOW
Get out of EASTERN EUROPE now !!! The people are suffering !!!! Now !!!
Zelensky zionista criminal
Keep it honest, the level of suffering is not unimaginable at all, many around the world have been living like this for decades…keep the reporting honest…
Way to be disingenuous.
Living like this fit decades ???? Where is war this big been going on for decades recently??
Wow .Behind every successful countries there is America because America don’t behind unsuccessful country.
I hope the Polish people and Taiwan are watching with full attention… war is an I’ll wind that blows no one any good. So whatever their problem is should be brought to the table for discussion and letting some people full them into a fight only to abandon them.
Like Hitler Putin only wants piece- piece of Ukraine, Latvia, Poland etc etc
Taiwan is just a NATO outpost.
And they are still asking for more weapons instead of peace. One thing I understand in war, poor people are always the victims .
😢
Ukrain not giving people they pension
You heard what they said !! They said they wait for putin to liberate dunbas
Don’t get all excited about one brainwashed old lady
Well, they can thank Zelensky and his cronies for their new life now 🤣
In 1991 Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons for a CAST IRON guarantee that Russia would respect its territory , INCLUDING Crimea.
Putin`s latest tactic , blow up power stations, so the population freeze to death in winter. That’s a lot of old people dieing from hypothermia. Adolf Hitler would have liked that , am I wrong ??
Lol ye sure – cronies of a frickin former comedian vs a billionaire oligarch former KGB like Putin.
@babyfacemichael1 Yes.
*with the previous Ukranian government that was overthrown in 2014 you idiot*
Yeah Putin never did anything wrong in fact you love to suck him off as much as possible he’s such a hero to you.
The U.S and Europe should stop fighting and negociate a solution with Russia.
Russia will only listen if they are forced to listen.
@nigh I fear that the escalation could lead to the deployment of nuclear weapons which in the end could be a positive move to reduce the world population and reset the system . A new start is always good from time to time .
@Peter Kobor I don’t think that is a particularly realistic threat. It is not like Russia is backed into a corner, they can just GTFO of Ukraine and nobody will be shooting at them anymore. Putin also is rational enough to understand that he has nothing to win and everything to lose in a nuclear war.
No one really cares about Ukrainian the sooner some know the better…. West only trying to prove a point
It shows these people would rather go to Russia 🪆🇷🇺 and get a free apartment than go to Ukraine and be homeless
Right now they are trying to stay in their homes while Russia is doing everything it can to destroy their homes.
for their heart meditates on violence, and their lips utter evil.
Very Sad Indeed 😟 to think that after this recent escalation of NATO and EU these people are going to be referred to only in numbers of dead bodies is heartbreaking.
Funny but there are no NATO troops in this war.
Only Russian’s came uninvited.
Russia will liberate them soon.
EVERY NEWS NETWORK ON YOUTUBE IS FAKE. ” RUSSIAS WINNING AND ILL WIN THIS WAR”
This people had living happily till US and Brit pupil Eltzin devided USSR lands according US-Brit demands at 1991, it was same as Brit devided India for three countries so war between Pakistan and India starts and going till now and Bengali people are suffering as devided nation. Completely same crime was made at 1991 during USSR deviding and now pathetic US-Brit propaganda are crying about suffering people
The face of the innocent in a war that should never have happened. It looks like Russia is about to take Bakhmut too. It would be nice to get accurate correspondence on this war.
Ukraine’s citizens thrown out the comedian zelensgi and his supporter
“Our president promised he would liberate Donbas before new year but nothing has happened” – 🤔🤔
At this point I want to know who her real president is
Russian controlled separatist forces occupied that region since 2014, so one has to presume she means Zelensky.
She means Putin due to the liberation
@zeenat if she means Putin then it’s game over for Ukraine. You have people in your country who strongly admit their president is in Russia especially in an area where you’re claiming to be your territory
@Mavenex Inc. Huh …from the many people all over the world
Am only filling the pain for the old and the young children supplying weapon’s to Ukraine doesn’t solve the problem find ways for peace
yes, everything will be fine, Zelensky banned the Russian language, took away the churches, with the help of the SBU. the mayor of Dnepropetrovsk wrote who wants to meet baptism, should drown, democracy. Ukraine is a fort post of Western democracy. I am waiting for the “European democracy” to accept this clown into the European Union. you will be delighted where the SBU tortures and kills a member of the main intelligence directorate, and then kills him with a shot in the back of the head and throws him out like a bag of garbage in the center of Kiev. but the Western media won’t write about it?
but the semi-professional comedian mr. zelensky is still joking. the people is suffering because of USA
Ukraine war is but so is Yemen. UK and Europe is supported the killing incident Yemenis. UK and Europe flight the war planes and help the blockade. Europe is feeling what we brown people feel under the U.S and NATO. This is the way rest of the world feel
A bomb is drop everyday in Yemen, Somalia, Iraq and Syria. You don’t want to know or care. Ukraine people are not only person getting killed. And Russia is not killed Yemenis, USA do kill far more people but no-one is reporting.
Zelenesky you ruined everything with your stubborn attitude
Absolutely no no where close to what the zionist entity and the collective west minus Ireland along with the so called civilized western nations media have been inflicting on the poor Palestinians especially Gaza.
Fresh compost
American war Vs
Tribe of Rus
Ukrainian people can easly go to Poland why they who want don’t go to Rusia?
This are only excuses. Russia wants Kiyev not Erde rly people.
These are onesided – not objective views.
Time to give lods of equipment to Ukraine ! ! !
By God these people clearly state that they want to be in Russia and they refer to their President Putin.
US needs to stop meddling in this war.
Stop arming Ukraine. Go home NATO
Zelensky the clown of Kiev was ready to negotiate but his masters told him he’ll fight till the last Ukrainian.
USA and Eu nations testing their weapons on Ukraine
Mr Putin is a Demi God ,fighting the west and the USA, for thus long glory to him … but I hope this innocent people will see the light of peace.. Very dad for your loses ….
Glory to Russia 🇷🇺 Glory to Putin 🇷🇺
