From the transcript
Even in a war, infamous for its casualty rate, it was a battle that managed to stand out. Since mid-2022, Russian and Ukrainian forces have been fighting for supremacy, indonets, to out of back mode, a gateway to the ride at Donbas region.
Initially, the battle began just as another step in Moscow's plan to grind across the whole of Donbas using artillery barrages, a small, necessary clash that would take the Kremlin's forces swiftly onto the far more important cities of Kramatorsk and Slaviansk.
Instead, that small clash wound up becoming the deadliest battle seen in Europe since the end of World War II. With tens of thousands thought to have been killed on both sides, Bakhmut is today the site of carnage not seen on the continent since 1945.
