#UkrainerussiaWar As fighting around Bakhmut rages on, drone footage taken by The New York Times captured the scorched buildings, destroyed schools and cratered parks that now define the city in eastern Ukraine. The Russians are declaring victory in this battle, the war’s longest and bloodiest. The Ukrainians, making gains on the outskirts, say the death of the city is not the end of the campaign to drive the Russians from the ruins, just one more phase in a catastrophic war. Tyler Hicks shot this drone footage while embedded with the 93rd Mechanized Brigade of Ukraine outside Bakhmut.
