The Ukrainian military is taking massive casualties in the battle for Bakhmut, the lynchpin of the Donetsk frontline, the US Mozart Group has revealed to Newsweek. The retired Marine who heads the group, which claims charity status but also trains the Ukrainian military, says some units are seeing casualty rates of 70% and more.
With the Ukrainian military tightly controlling media access to the front, Mozart is notable for regularly posting photos and videos of what is going on, “which is an absolute annihilation of Ukrainian frontline towns to an extent that I have not seen in the media,” Andrew Milburn, who was a colonel in the US Marines, told the magazine.
“Bakhmut is like Dresden, and the countryside looks like Passchendaele,” he said, in reference to a German city destroyed by Allied bombing in WWII and an infamous mud-soaked WWI battlefield, respectively.
It's just a horrible and miserable place
