- Опубліковано 22 бер 2023
- In Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region, the Ukrainian army continues to lose ground to Russian forces, in and around Bakhmut.
But in the south of Donetsk province, Ukrainian tanks and infantrymen are standing firm after months of fighting.
Russia’s forces have suffered heavy losses with almost nothing to show for it.
BBC correspondent Quentin Sommerville and camera journalist Darren Conway reported from the frontline as daily bombardments continue.

Insane footage. huge props to the soldiers managing there everyday and to the journalists showing the world how it is.
Gullible you
@@dagre1839how is the weather in Moscow today Russian troll?
01:17 Reporter needs to get in better shape AND learn that "quickly" does not mean jogging. Means sprinting to save your hide.
@@dagre1839 hey too bad china won't be saving you. All that begging for nothing.🙁🤣🤣🤣
Huge props to the 6 million Ukrainian women who fled and left behind their sons and husbands
It's insane how calm the dude is having artillery strikes 30 meters from him
The other dude stood up, got a tank shot right above him and laughed
He's probably dead by now..
you get really used to it after some time
Actors
Believe me, It's just a coping mechanism, they are actually shitting themselves.
That is nervous laughing. 😮
I’m 23 and the guy who’s 22 jeez man I give him respect…I could only imagine how it is to be out in that field hearing loud rounds/mortars near you and a whole bunch more with a possibility of dying or getting injured. Wish the best for these guys.
He died 😔
he actually died not too recently
R.I.P Dima. You are true hero.
Yeah, this is real. Life or death. No restart from last checkpoint. Makes me laugh kids saying they can imagine how it is out there. Trust me, you cannot.
@@voxa7801 Wow prayers out to his family 🙏🏻😔
These reporters deserve medals for their bold efforts. In my part of the world, reporting on even riots and protests...is a big deal
Yeap Reporters like this, gives first Hand information..thankyou! Brave '!!
Quentin is already an OBE - but it's been almost a decade since then, so perhaps he could move up to CBE for services to reporting... or CMG - Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George - since this can be seen as "serving the UK abroad" (like David Attenborough, who is GCMG).
@Bella stop sharing misleading links
Just gays!😂
Bios bro
Kudos to BBC for showing up the real time footage and horrors of war.
Isn't it exciting?
Too bad it contradicts the hundreds of other news reports they put out saying the war is a breeze ukraine is taking no losses and winning easily 😆
@@oksyar you propberly still think its like in video games
@@weybye91 no, I think it's exactly like as shown in the video above
@@oksyar YES! Only when russians are destroyed.
I'm 33 and I look at Dima with inspiration, so calm in such treacherous times. Bless him.
This young brave soldier Dima looks so despondent. I hope things get better for all of Ukraine and her people. Stay strong Ukraine.
How would anyone feel, under constant heavy artillery bombardment. People in the west think this is a war like afghan or itaq. That was like fighting a chimp throwing rocks at you. This is like fighting a 2000lbs gorilla.
@@helenajaksic2009 it is not obvious yet how it will end. The sides involve too many now, the outcome is unclear
@@voxa7801 how do you know?
Only in your dreams
@@markaurelius3119 the outcome is obvious if you got any sense and ignore the propaganda, Russian army is a superior force and have more than twice as many troops then when the war started while Ukraine has many dead and severely injured so its from unclear it's obvious
Stop the war i only say la vie en paix LOVE and peace around over the world thanks
I'm about as old as Dima. And while I am at home, sitting in a warm home, well fed, nothing to really worry about, Dima is defending his country, shelled in the cold by countless RuZZian shells and living in a trench. I'm very proud of the offer Dima is willing to make and simultaneously I worry for him. He might even be dead already. And the only reason our situations differ so much is because I was born on the other side of Europe. It could have been me. I hope Dima will see the end of the war, will get to experience peace, rather than worrying about when another shell will fall and if it will hit him or not. But Bakhmut is a dangerous place.
Dima, we won't let your work be in vain. If you perish, you will be avenged! Ukraine will be free. Putler and RuZZia will lose. Slava Ukraini!
I couldn’t agree more. I wish Dima and all of his comrades along all of the front lines the very best and hope that our military aid makes it there very soon. Challenger and Leopard 2s tanks should be there by the end of March.
Need to give them shells. Come on! We can do it.
Grow up
It’s mindsets like yours that will assure that 100s of thousands more Ukrainians will die with the same end result of the war….
No one stopping you from coming to Ukraine and helping Dima. Instead of writing hollow, whine, empty post!
Those are very brave soldiers and one very brave reporter and camera person.
Hollywood show
Serving in an Anglo-Saxons proxy war against Russia...
@@user-zr5yw2st1e the hollywood director was so keen on making it realistic they actually filmed it on location in Donbass.
More like dumb
@@user-zr5yw2st1e you are slow if you think this isn't Ukraine 🤣
Dude…..that sound of tank ammo flying over is terrifying
I can't believe that just as a non-military American viewing this war from afar, I now know the difference
between incoming tank shells and artillery shells. They're both terrifying, but I think that tanks could be
worse because there's less warning than artillery - I think I remember a soldier saying that and that seems
to be my observation from these videos as well.
Poor Dima. The fear and doubt in his eyes is uncomfortable to see. Insane footage and really brings home what these guys are facing!
Great and very courageous front line reporting
dude doesnt know how to run
We must resist at all costs being desensitized to the horror and awful tragedy of war - exceptional reporting like this definitively helps with that aim.
The importance of these reports is that they also record all the war crimes of the Russians
@@anhconroy6172 США , Британия и Европа самы главные военные преступники всех времён ! Русские отплатят англосаксам за эту войну !
@@anhconroy6172 伊拉克的时候为什么没人记录美国的战争罪行。你们都是美国媒体霸权下的弱智🐕🐕🐕
The problem is europeans have long been desensitised because they are used to waging wars in other parts of the world
@@anhconroy6172 You better record the crimes of Ukraine, which is killing civilians in the Donbas. Here's what it looks like - ua-cam.com/video/ZGNqEC3Z4KA/v-deo.html . Or can Russians be killed?
The bravery of these war reporters cannot be overstated, they put themselves in harm's way to bring the us firsthand account of what is happening, its just amazing
While the young soldier says he is brave and can handle it his eyes are so incredibly sad - a valuable young life with a real possibility of being snuffed out in this brutal conflict
Exactly , l pity poor him
At least he has far better judgement
than Zelensky
First documentary where I said “Holy sh1t” out loud like 4 different times. What amazing footage. The whole crew put their lives on the line.. and I really hope young Dima makes it through this.
He’s one tough kid that’s for sure.
Same, those rounds were close
@@poseidon808 too close!
Courageous reporting and camera work. Thank you Quentin Sommerville & Darren Conway.
What they are doing here in Ukraine is in my opinion, without a doubt some of the bravest reporting ever attempted.
Yes
Much respect for the Ukrainian soldiers, defending their country so heroically, and for all BBC journalists and cameramen who bring us reports from the front lines
Англичане , что вы там делаете ,? В это время , вы убиваете наших детей .вы хуже амеб , теперь знаю , что у вас за страна . Окей чвк Вагнер к тебе прилетит !!!! Россия 🇷🇺
Thes journalists deserve all appreciation🙏
Damn at 22 he’s gotta be subjected to this, still just a young man. God bless lil bro.
Britain had 250,000 “Teenage Soldiers of WW1” 17-13 if we are talking history but I am talking about the 21st century/current times.
@Owesh Diwan there were young men of 18 and 19 years old who enlisted and fought at Normandy, however, the average age was 26, and US soldiers drafted in WW2 had to be over the age of 21.
@Owesh Diwan Russians forced kids to fight in the eastern front in ww2 they had specialty units of 11-12-year-olds fighting in bloody hand-to-hand combat against the 6th army in the eastern front, which was the worst front in the history of wars.
@@S1016691Source?
Insane journalism, balls of steel. I had my head phones on loud for this video and when that first shell came in it was terrifying, imagine actually being there
The sound was terrifying, i literally ducked at my desk
I've watched a lot of combat footage from Iraq and Afghanistan. Mostly amateur GoPro stuff, and usually small arms fire or IEDs. But this - this footage is the closest I've seen and heard artillery rounds fall near the camera. Crazy stuff...
I do not think any documentary from the front lines of the Ukraine war have shown so well exactly what it is like to be there; and how brave the men are who fight there for the freedom of their country !!!! Super strong respect to them; and to the journalists who risked their lives to make this documentary !!!! Slava Ukraini !!!!
This is heart breaking. War is a burden on mankind.
Yes ...a waste of men and materials said Abdul Baha
Is only 1 year imagie with iraqi 20 years of wars
Nobody want to go to negotiation table, US says they will fight until the last ukranians.
yet its part of mankind. since the beginning until the end.
@@iggy5347 lol saddam died soon after US attack, 20 years in ur mom ass
Respect to that report and cameramen
I agree it’s guts period
Another amazing and great report. Thank you BBC for letting world to know
What a bold effort from the reporter!
God bless that 22 year old.i hope he stays safe and has success
Buddy, your not going run out shells, the world stands with you mate, stay strong
What world? The Ukronazis and the Western criminal gang who started most of the wars in the past 30 years? The real world knows who the evil is, and it's not RF!
The world is running out of Soviet calibers, although some production is being restarted.
Yeah empty promises
@@solomonike1709 We get it, you some ruski living in a soviet era appartement in some depresive grey neighbourhood. DOesn't mena you gotta bring your miserableness to the internet.
@@margelatu79 Let's get this clear. Russians have aloud a mafia gang to take over their country. They have distributed the wealth of the Russian state, which was technically owned by all citizens, to their small group, known collectively as oligarchs. And now these same criminals have sacrificed tens of thousands of Russians, attacking another country.
After all this there are still Russians who support them? It just goes to show how mind numbingly stupid some people can be.
God protect Dima.
I've the goosebump. Thanks to the brave soldier and to the outstanding reportage by Quentin Sommerville and Darren Conway.
This Scottish dude and his cameraman have 'nads of steel!
Respect for the reporting crew … Long live Ukraine!
RESPECT? WTF ARE YOU ON , ANOTHER ARMCHAIR CLOWN , GO GET A JOB
And do you think the neo n@zi factions should continue in Ukraine ?? Azov, right sector. galicia, svoboda .... all Bandera loving para military factions ! You cannot have one without the other !
Till the last Ukrainian 🤣
@@zoom777 More likely Russia pulls out due to their terrible loses.
Accomplishing this can only be done through Ukraine's complete triumph and a return to the 1991 borders. By supplying more military aid, we can minimize the need for aid to Ukrainian civilians in the future. We must come together and do whatever it takes to resist the invaders.
Poor Boy.... I pray he makes it
Stay strong.
❤😢 Kozaki stay strong 💪🏻 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Slava Russia💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
@dejuren The 1991 border is not a "maximalist demand"
Slava Ukraini Slava Kozaki!
@dejuren Blood is on the hands of the invaders and occupiers. There I fixed it for you.
@Alex
May help never cease for Ukraine. Amen 🙏
That says keep sending weapons till there is no Ukrainians left and whatever isnt destroyed already to be destroyed...How about praying for the cease fire and peace deal instead
Already lost more man power (human lives) than the US in all of ww2 and they were press ganged to fight.
Carful what you wish for. Guess have to pay for covid somehow. I’m saddened by your thinking and the mob mindset
😊🙏
@@olamideogundipe9282 smile and pray while the world blows up with your weapons.
You have to be American
Wow wow wow 😱 Great report, I felt that you really brought us into their world. I hope young Dima and everyone are doing well. 🥺
That guy at the start definitely had the 1000 yard stare
Outstanding front line report.
So sad, seeing a 22year old subjected to this situation.
yea my friend . the ukranians should put older men there like me . the poor guy must not have political power to be there
He has no choice, he was snatched from the streets of Kyiv and thrown into the army.
@@johnsmith-yk6yf What an original name. Was John Doe unavailable?
@@johnsmith-yk6yf that's Russians do son
@@johnsmith-yk6yf no one is snatching anyone from the streets. Except in the places where Russians occupied Ukraine - by Russians. You are confusing Ukraine with Russia.
This is almost insanely out of control - I watched this video twice now and I almost feel a little bit of
shell shock. I can't imagine the stress and anxiety that this puts on any person's system that's out
on those battlefields.
Words seem so insignificant against the backdrop of this video. My comments are probably to help process. Actually seeing the intense shelling brought new understanding of the bravery of the Ukraine soldiers. The reporter and crew deserve medala for their bravery. The trauma of that experience will be etched on their memory forever. Thank you for the bravery of the soldiers and the BBC.
Did you not come to mind the understanding of the crimes of the neo-Nazi Ukrainian regime, which caught Dima on the street, stuffed him into a bulletproof vest and sent him to kill his Russian relatives? Russia are not fighting against Ukrainians, but against the criminal Kiev regime, which has been killing Russians for 8 years.
Hello Barbara
Darren Conway is the camera man. He has worked on various recent conflicts such as Afghanistan, Syria, Kosovo and the Arab Spring and now Ukraine. He was given the OBE award by Prince Charles in 2014 for his works.
Hehe, this report deserves a medal 🏅
This is very sad, but thank you for showing us the truth.
I was ducking as I heard mortar fell, LOL! Insane footage.
Good report, excellent camera work , thanks for taking a huge risk to get this story out.
You are all so brave 😢❤
Oh yeah Karen
❤❤
Great reporting!
Please stay safe!
Glory to Dima and his troops!
These BRAVE and COURAGEOUS soldiers have done, and are doing, a FANTASTIC JOB! I wish them SAFE survival, and God Bless them!
Glory to Ukraine!
Slava Ukraine!
Героям Слава!!!
Glory to Heroes!
Hats of to the reporter and the camera man risking their lives in the trenches to get the stories out.
Now these are real reporters. This takes some real balls.
When bro jumped in the trench.... it was then he decided..... this is the closest! wow brave work BBC journalists, crewe and soldiers
Incredible footages and hats off to the 22 years old ukranian solder who stands right in the frontline and keeps on going.
Cant believe it, only 22 years old. At this age here in the west ( i used to have my lasagna ready for dinner, my washed clothes and i was popping around my town driving my car with my little girlfriend and feel like a boss).
@mnbvcxzlkjhgfdsapoiuytrewq i dont what you saying but by looking at your flags ans the Z i can surely realize that you are ine of the retarded poorly uneducated Russia brainwashed by propaganda
Ukraine 🇺🇦
Great people with the unbelievable commitment 👏 God bless you 🙏

We all know that Ukrainian victory is so close. But we have to increase our help to do it more effectively
Horrific footage yet heroic at the same time.
Spirited,,Brave Men..wish well

Can't believe people will see this and still want the war to continue
Great reporting, stay safe.
Great reporting. Thank you. 🇨🇦
What a brave journalist. Salute to all Ukrainian soldier giving there life to defend there homeland against Russian Invasion.
Outstanding and amazing courage by all.
Thank you Conway & Somerville and please remain safe as possible while you threaten your lives showing and telling the world what is happening.
God bless you and all the other innocent ones caught up in the war.
The soldiers and reporters in the video have balls of steel.
Exceptional reporting on some very strong people.
If someone could have told me as a sapper in the CAF in the 80's that when I am in my fifties my enemy the Soviet Union would destroy itself using it's own equipment and out of the deal we get a new strong ally for suppling a bit of old kit. Deal of the century.
The power of Psychic Corps.
I am going to make sure ur comment is heard by a lot of Ukrainians to make sure they know they fighting the wrong enemy. And thanks h stupid how ur willing to sacrifice your country for nato and EU membership smh
We call Soviet Union and modern Russia as "Jail of nations". That's why we fight them.
Wow! Those photojournalists are some of the bravest people anywhere. Even looking this battle on my screen scares me! No wimps there!
God Bless you Dima.and the reporters for the priviledge of viewing the cruelties of war and the bullying of someone who has nothing else to do..invading a sovereign nation..go go..Uk
Hello Maya
"..it was 820mm shell land maybe 20 to 30 meters away"
If that were the case, they would be vaporized. He meant 82mm mortar. 820mm would be as wide as a person.
he said 120mm, you moron
I thought he said 120mm.
Why wouldn’t your opponents always be watching the frontline? What a pointless headline.
Insane footage! the close high speed shells landing scared the shit out of me. Dima's so young man defending their homeland and relatives, just facing the enemy. Big ukrainian Counter-offensive is coming and I hope Víctory comes soon for this people. Slava ukraini 🇺🇦🇨🇱

Stop sending weapons.
Stop the war.
Are you addressing Russian imperialists? They are the only ones who wage war
Incredible courage. The real thing
Good reporting. Go Ukraine
Wow what an incredible report. Thank you BBC. The BBC and DW have really really come out ahead of any other news outlet in terms of contextualised and factual reporting that speaks truth to power during this conflict.
Don't forget Ukrainian Hromadske! Nastia Stanko and crew have been in deep since day 1..and Polish TVP world show Rock Rachon..they are the real deal!
Christ! It's spremely fine journalsim. The best. To the team, bravo!
Best video this channel has made. Keep this up. Crazy how that kid was only 22 years old
Now this is proper journalism!! Respect to the team, also SLAVA UKRAINI 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
I would like to see Ukraine win soon, but for the liberation of all the territories captured by the Russians more weapons are needed, and the suffering will stop.
i can see why the Army and marines emphasise running
Quentin Somerville is an incredible journalist, I remember his reports from Iraq with ISIS shooting at him as well. Quality BBC report like Chester Willmott, or Dimbleby in WW2
Power to Ukraine soldiers..prayers to the brave soldiers of Ukraine…👍👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
