Newsday

Available for over a year

For some ten months, Bakhmut, a small industrial city in eastern Ukraine has been pounded by Russian forces. Before the invasion, there were about 70,000 people living there. However, according to Liudmyla Buimister, a member of the Ukrainian parliament and a Sergeant in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, “the city is not a city anymore�. She told Newsday: “We should just think about it as a typographic point on a military map.� (Picture: Shows drone footage of Bakhmut city on March 10, 2023.
