The battle of Bakhmut is the longest and bloodiest of the war in Ukraine.
Russian forces seized control of the city in the eastern Donbas region in May.
Ukraine’s 80th Airborne (Air Assault) Brigade is heavily involved in that battle and fighting side by side are a father and son.
Al Jazeera’s Assed Baig reports from the front line near Bakhmut, Ukraine.

ZELENSKY IS A CLOWN AND LIAR.
Surrender and have a future
@jacq danieles they don’t. Do you even watch france24 reports as well as free radio europe on how they are grabbing ppl off the street and throwing them in a van, gave 2 weeks training and sent immediately into the meat grinder?
@CrucialConflict they will perish with the American dollar.
@Far Centrist”Ukraine should just let it happen” is what you people say, you are literally the victim blamers blaming women for getting raped and such
And of course supporting Russia’s 999th genocide in recent times, just to “own the west” absolutely pathetic. Hopefully you never have kids that you have to explain your own bs to
Ukraine was wearing a short skirt
Coward like you, probably somebody will sleep with your wife and would be okay with you.
Here comes your death
so call the ambulance
for Putin cuz civil war is coming soon yo
Arabs are the slaves of America 😂
Russia is a joke the only reason this is taking so long is so the world has time to let it sink in what kind of “super power” russia is. With an economy the size of Italy it is already punching above it’s weight with the amount of mess they created.
There is no Ukranian troops in Bakhmut. Not even close🤣🤣🤣🤣
What? I thought the ghost of Kyiv is leading the charge into Moscow
@Allen T.G 🤣🤣🤣🤣
There is no substance in this😂😂😂
Ykrops had been advancing in Bahmut for over 2 weeks, but still are stuck somewhere in the empty field.
Impressive how they are still able to grind down dozens and dozens of Russian armor every day and week
@Tayletubbythey’re not acknowledging that. It’s all Hollywood CGI and Jesse Plemons is one of the Actors. The fantasy from those guys is really astonishing…😂
@Frihusi Ola And don’t forget the brainwashing and mind control from the satanist CIA aliens, Transformers and Ninja Turtles
@Tayletubby Ukrainians doesn’t die in the endless meatstorms of their “countreoffence”?
@tingle blade Ukrainians definitely die, because Russians want to be genocidal imperialists for the 999th time in their history again.
What a nonsense reply. “Ukrainians doesn’t die?” Unfortunately they do.
But endless meatstorms, barely a month after the alleged start of the counteroffensive? Did your Russian friends on Minecraft servers tell you that?
I hope all the Russian invaders leave Ukrainian soil or be buried in it.
I thought Ukraine has finally taken Bakmut. The video title is misleading 😂😂
Here read it again, it doesn’t say that. Ukraine counteroffensive ‘advances’: 80th Airborne Brigade return to Bakhmut
Do you have sewer water for brains
Ukrainian suicide mission
The western media keeps saying Ukrainian advances but they can’t take 1 meter of land in bahkmut from Russia.
Al Jazeera Propaganda Machine 📺📡
What propaganda you dumb monkey? They’ve put a camera on an artillery unit doing its job.
True 100%👍
Edgy 12 year olds learning the word propaganda for the first time. Just yelling propaganda doesn’t mean anything if you can’t argue it
@mikele“tRuE 100%“, mikele (age unkown) profession „beeing dumb af“ who receives his news from RT.🤡
@TayletubbyIf you had once read a history book you would see the parallels between Göbbels and the Putin regime. If not, I’m sorry, nobody can help you…
It’s BS. They didn’t return anywhere. With catastrophic failures on the frontlines of the war, Zelenskyy regime resorts to terrorist attacks and rounding up of civilians and sending them to the meat grinder. After the latest debacle Zelenskyy supervisors told him not to use Challengers and Leopard 2A6s in the offensive . It was too embarrassing. Zelenskyy managed to waste hundreds of tanks (including cutting-edge German Leopard 2A6s) and hundreds of armored vehicles (including Bradley) along with thousands of hapless Ukrainian conscripts on the mine fields, hit by Russian artillery or anti-tank missiles without even getting to the first main line of Russian defense. Adding insult to injury Russians captured Leopard 2A6 and Bradley . Ukrainian army has always been poorly led and marred by political interference and pervasive corruption, but now when it lost almost all experienced soldiers every Zelenskyy operation turns into a wholesale slaughter of Ukrainian conscripts like in Bakhmut. Bakhmut was a slaughter which was entirely Zelenskyy folly as Stalingrad was entirely Hitler’s folly. Zelenskyy just for media hype wasted on average 500 troops daily (total tally was at least 51 000 KIA) in Bakhmut meat grinder even when all escape routes came under Russian fire control and this debacle turned into a sheer slaughter of Ukrainian troops.
Another day and another repetition of this nonsense comment. Get a life.
@Tayletubbycan you imagine the genocide of people on donbass (after its independence) if russia didn’t interfere?
russia had only a bad option and an even worse one in this conflict
@al If Russia didn’t interfere in what? This is the most nonsense reply i’ve read all day, good job.
Russia had 9 whole years to prove the world that Ukraine was committing genocide on Russian speakers, or going to. Even when most of the west still respected Russia, took them seriously and listened to them.
And Russia didn’t bother proving that a single man, woman, child, dog or rat was killed by Ukrainians since.
Russia had literally every option to avoid this, by not attacking Ukraine in 2014, and by not launching a full scale invasion in 2022.
But they had to go and launch their 999th attempt at imperialism in recent history, while edgy 12 year olds cheer them on
@al fill the docs and pack your things Ivan. soon you’ll be next on the grinder. you think this is going to end soon? you’ll get to the line in the coming years my dude
@2 – D • Death Company at least i wont be kidnapped from the streets like in ukraine
Ukrainian soldiers are true warriors defending their country as they know that they are the good guys and on the right side of history. Their struggle today will let their future generations live in peace and security.
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@mikele6 potatoes for your emojis! Good job botski
@Jean-Marc SalottiSoldiers fighting to defend their homeland against imperialism are good guys 99.999% of the time.
@Tayletubby Soldiers fighting for US and UK imperialism,Karen !
@Jean-Marc SalottiWe have good and bad. We create laws based on what is good and what is bad.
Russia is illegally attacking and stealing and collecting international crime records…Thats bad.
A Ukrainian that fights to protect what is right according to law…are likely doing good.
In our age, neither Russia nor Ukraine can create a different history than is already being logged.
Russia can never win, and then make everyone forget.
Slava Ukraini,
Heroyam slava!
🇺🇦
Deep salute to father & son for defending their lands!
The counteroffensive has been reduced to cheap production story telling 😏😏…..so much for the Hollywood trailers …
Same as Jesse Plemons is a payed actor from the USA in Ukraine. Like it’s astonishing how you came up with that. You guys a simply delusional propaganda victims.
A group of former senior U.S. national security officials has held secret talks with prominent Russians believed to be close to the Kremlin — and, in at least one case, with the country’s top diplomat — with the aim of laying the groundwork for negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, half a dozen people briefed on the discussions said.
In a high-level example of the back-channel diplomacy taking place behind the scenes, Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergey Lavrov met with members of the group for several hours in April in New York, four former officials and two current officials said.
On the agenda were some of the thorniest issues in the war in Ukraine, like the fate of Russian-held territory that Ukraine may never be able to liberate and the search for an elusive diplomatic off-ramp that could be tolerable to both sides.
Doesn’t really matter what the US may decide.
All member nations of the European Council have made perfectly clear that the war will not end before the fascist occupation of Ukrainian territory ends.
The mistakes of Munich 38 won’t be repeated.
Found the Kremlin simp
@jacq danielesyour trolling doesn’t even make sense
Negotiations? Here they are: “All russian soldiers and agents must leave Ukrainian territory, and russia must pay reparations.”
No more Munich-style betrayals, no more appeasement of dictators, the only acceptable deal is with the Orc horde pulling out of Ukraine. Then maybe our descendants won’t be ashamed of us that we betrayed our principles for slightly cheaper groceries.
Suicide mission !!
Unfortunately they are fighting for stupid president and warmonger NATO …
This is the spirit of a brave and noble people, they are not only fighting to win and liberate their lands, but they are fighting for their loved ones, their land and for generations to come, to live in peace and safety. This is what Ukrainians are like and because of this, they will win this war and they will liberate every square inch of their lands from Russian Imperialism. What God has given to the Ukrainians as the spirit of the brave, he did not give the Russians, but the devil is the one that claims and owns Russians, in their evil, their ruthlessness, in their capacity to kill and lie about it and cruelty, when a body is emptied of its soul and heart, that’s when they become Russians. Glory to Ukraine.
The opposite is true 😂😂😂
sigh played out by the American president and his Ukrainian cronies elites . Waste of lives on context of nationalism for money money and moer money
I can already see the statue in Kyiv of this father and son duo.
Ukrainian counteroffensive🤭😂😂
Ruzzian copium 🤭😂😂
You will be payed your potato next week, good job botski
I have great respect for the Ukrainian fighting men, this father and son team is a great story
GLORY TO RUSSIA
I doubt it
Russia is a pathetic far right neo bolshevik state
ok thug.
🇺🇦❤
Don’t stop until all the invaders (Orcs) are evaporated.
GOD bless Russia,Glory to Russia in jesus mighty name Amen,the cause and foundations of the war is Italy and France Paris and,America,Napolitano,Napoli,Taranto,Torino,sardinia,Rome ^;,)’)(?,;:”‘?)(*?,:’
fake news as usual from aljazeera,ukraine will never recapture backmut or any other territory held by Russia other than vacant kland and call it a village far from the battlefields,just yesterday alone 870 ukraine troops killed across 119 areas,weapons depots decemated,5 tanks destroyed,storm shadow missle captured by Russia to say the least.
Aljazeera continue to give it’s gaulable audience lies about the gravity of war in ukraine and how Russia has turned ukraine so called counteroffensive into a nightmare,keep broadcasting your propaganda but the rest of us have other alternative credible channels that provide us with what is really happening in this war and not fake news from aljazeera.
I hope posting the felt empowering.
Al Jazeera stop spreading lies and propaganda
Airborne lol
🇬🇧🇷🇺🇬🇧🇷🇺🇬🇧🇷🇺🇬🇧🇷🇺❤
Glory to the Heroes!
Good bless 🇷🇺 Russia ❣️

Slava Ukrani
@GEORGE MCBRIDE Slava cocaine
@Golden Rogerupporter of Kremlin genocides, nothing to see here
Slava krokodil
Slava vodka
Slava potato
no blue skies to you thug.
Hey hey journalism. Terrible
Ruzzians are bbq 🍗
When Russia was taking Bakhmut, mainstream media constantly told us how unimportant Bakhmut is …
Why then is Ukraine sending its elite units to fight for it now ?
Pushing back the Russians means moving through/past Bakhmut. Therefore….
The place itself isn’t terribly important though media outlets will always want to hype things up for the story. Though losing it would be a humiliation for the Russians given it took them so long to take it.
USA give Ukraine 🇺🇦 long range weapons already.. cmon
Great news, slava ukraini ✌️🇺🇦 freedom loving people and patriots support you
when Pizza delivery boys turn into Airborne soldiers, their story sounds like that 😂
Great that Al Jazeera is covering the war, especially from the side opposite the Tyrant
AJ has usually or always been reliably non partisan, even on sensitive Middle East issues. It’s a shame they closed their US offices.
Ukraine and Bakhmut again 😢
Ouch! His dad got hit by the concussion backfire at the end there. :O(-
Quite the lacklustre counteroffensive.
Inspiring. Best wishes to both.
Zelensky will sacrifice every single Ukrainian for the Septic Tank War Machine …
Meanwhile Putin depopulates entire Russian villages of men as conscripts for the meat grinder just to “own the west”
Putin would let his whole country die before even thinking about his people…sad truth.
To be fair Russia has invaded Ukraine. So, you know, perhaps not a great idea to blame Zelensky.
@45641560456405640563fk no Nato invaded Russian’s space. Ukraine was used as a battleground.
Glory to the heroes of Ukraine
End of zelensky joker ،،means end of war۔
American Europion & NATO Terrorist leadership are spreading war in the world every where۔
Staggering about the internet making idiotic comments isn’t a great idea.
It seems like the west is desperately seeking for something to call it a win or momentum for Ukraine 😂
The west just wants to buy oil and pretend Russia is a peaceful country, you useless bot
Says a russian troll farm serf hiding behind a fake Western account name.
“Counter offensive” ?!?! Is that what they call suicide in Ukraine?
btw how is the 3 days special military operations going? just curious.
@Frihusi Ola
How is the 9-year return of Crimea hohol?
@frihusiola4339 it was supposed to be 3 days because russian govt wrongly hoped that all the regional politicians they were bribing would just turn control over to them and the ukrainian govt would just collapse. Nobody thought they would be successful in 3 day while facing actual opposition and a hostile civilian population
Kremlin bots getting better and better at storytelling. Glad to see somewhere progress…😂
AL Jazeera British reporters are reporting lies from the truth. They are reporting what BBC and CNN propaganda.
This Ukraine soldiers are waiting for their slaughter from Russiàn army.
No worry , as reported by all western media, Ukraine is WINNING.
Ukranie has earns lots of funds from the world in name of war , nato scam of funds , so ukraine shall be having a new president , all ukranie , uk , jewsish , gujarti americans will be bank krupt soon
they have advanced 32 m, and only 50% of them is still alive, greath achievment 🙂
No Olga, russians have not advanced 32 m. You haven’t advanced at all. You russians are actually becoming even more backwards, something nobody thought possible.
BS if you see the map they havent gotten anywhere and will not fight the Russian line head on
Why on earth would they fight the Russian line ‘head on’? They didn’t force Russia out of Kherson that way.
😂😂 Have they got into Bakhmut ???
That doesn’t seem to be the plan to be honest.
Advancing sidewards
Uskoro nema više ove grupice
Sad kad tu naleti k2 aligator
Difficult to trust this, Ukraine always lying.
Praying for all of your safety love and support ❤️🇵🇭
Как всегда ложь!
In sha Allah supporters of the Iraqi invasion.
Face absolutely crushing defeat.
RIP Ukrainazis 😂🎉
