Ukrainian activist Serhii Sternenko published a moving video with the injured defender of Bakhmut.

In the video, the Ukrainian soldier assures that he will not die because he will soon become a father. 

Sternenko wrote about this on his Telegram channel. 

The video shows the evacuation of a wounded Ukrainian defender from Bakhmut, where fierce fighting continues.

During the evacuation, the Ukrainian defenders sing "Oh, the red viburnum has fallen in the meadow."

Also, in the video, a wounded soldier of the Armed Forces says that he does not plan to die. 

"I am married, I will soon have a child. I do not plan to die," says the defender. 

Battles for Bakhmut 

From May 2022, the Russian occupiers storm the Ukrainian Bakhmut of the Donetsk region.

The invaders bombard the city with artillery and try to wipe it off the face of the earth. 

Russian regular army and mercenaries of PMK "Wagner" suffer heavy losses.

Footage of Bakhmut's defense on the Internet is compared with photos from the First World War.

Russian propagandists have already reported several times about the occupation of the Ukrainian city, but the soldiers of the Armed Forces bravely defend this settlement. 

Ivan Stupak, a military expert of the Ukrainian Institute of the Future, believes that the occupation of Bakhmut has no military value, but the Russians constantly storm it for the image of their propagandists.

They want to show that they are capable of capturing other people's territories.
