The identity and unit of this fighter has been left out for personal and operational security reasons. Griff talked with us about his experiences in Bakhmut during the fight for the city.

โ€œIt was absolute chaos man. We went in and were told by Command; โ€œFind work. Speak to units. Work with adjacent units.โ€ It was chaos man, the lines were so blurred so it was four months of just carnage, running around trying to figure out lines and finding units that wanted to employ us.โ€

Griff and his team would operate in and out of Bakhmut for four months, enduring some of the worst scales of fighting and shelling since the war began. During this time Wagner Group, a Russian PMC was used as shock troops, pushing into the city in onslaught as their rear was covered by Russian conventional troops.

โ€œIt was carnage man. House to house fighting, house to house gunfights, bodies in the streets, fires in the streets. The craziest shxt was seeing people who still lived there.โ€

โ€œA lot of it was just running around house to house, dodging artillery, getting into gunfights, just absolute carnage. Once the river was taken, everything else was just dominos.โ€

โ€œThere was single road in and out that was just constantly getting shelled, some guys would have to go in an out, take multiple trips a day and youโ€™d see tons of destroyed vehicles on the side of the road.โ€

Griffโ€™s current unit and previous units will remain redacted, however he has spent the past two years fighting in Ukraine since the Russian invasion and has fought in multiple of the large scale battles of the war.
