The eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut was the scene of the largest and most costly battle of the war so far. For more than ten months, the city was under the bombardment of Russian troops, until it fell in May 2023 despite the fierce resistance of the Ukrainians. The documentary follows three young soldiers a few months before the fall of Bakhmut: Vadim Adamov, Mykhailo Alekseenko, and Yuriy Samanyuk. Only one of the three men will survive the second year of the Russian assault on Ukraine.

    War is old men talking and YOUNG men dying!
  • "In war, politicians give ammunition, the rich give food, and the poor give their children. When the war ends, politicians shake hands, the rich raise food prices, and the poor look for the graves of their children." Serbian proverb

    As a father that "i dont wanna leave my son " hit me to my core.
  • Its crazy how good the young drone operators English is better then some here in US that grew up here.
  • Yurii and Helena have a good son and it touches my heart to hear his love and wisdom. A dark situation but if there was one moment in this documentary that made me feel hopeful, it was that boy's words to his mother.

    It's a powerful reminder of how much we take our peace for granted
  • @mussydesign7933
    As someone who spent 14 years in wars, you never think about the people you lost till the war ends because you are always in survival mode, then it will eat you up for the rest of yr life, and one question we all ask ourselves is why did i survive...Now I know never to fight for politicians let them go and fight at the front lines! RIP my brothers in arms.

    The family losing their only son at 34:18 absolutely kills me.... What a sweet, sweet couple. I hope they can find some meaning in the midst of all this. They should be very proud of their brave son, and his comrades.

    37:48 "the other day, my daughter told my wife, she doesnt want to be an orphan." He even attempted a little smile after that sentence. Absolutely brutal.... 😢
  • @Joycemcnamara
    This was an unbelievably great documentary! It should be on all national television! So sad to get to know these guys, and their lives and wives and kids, and see how a 19 year-old has so much courage.
  • @HelmetOfHonor
    The Ukrainians are among the bravest people I've ever seen. They have more courage and determination than my own countrymen.
  • Thank you for this soft and respectful tribute to Ukraine's heroes! I'm Ukrainian and I appreciated the film, we also need such documents of our history. Apparently I studied together with Mykhailo Aleksieienko, though we didn't know each other. But a friend of mine once told me about this cool political science student and activist she knew from our studies in Kharkiv, and then she shared that he was killed on the frontline. So I recognized Mykhailo in your movie. Unfortunately Ukraine's best men - young, educated, English speaking, brave and dedicated to their country' future, get killed by Russia's prisoners and mercenaries.

    Misha was a great man, he could’ve done so much for his hometown and for Ukraine all together! One of the greatest sorrows to lose him, one of the greatest things was to know him! Glory to the heroes !
  • @Vincentizer
    This should have tens or hundreds of millions of views. The fact that the general population doesnt care enough about what is going on in the world scares me.
  • @techethiopia589
