Throughout more than three months of war, Ukrainian troops have largely held Russian forces at bay. Ukrainian forces have been battling Russian-backed separatists in the Donbas since 2014, long before this most recent invasion. Ukrainian servicemen walk past a building heavily damaged in a Russian bombing in Bakhmut, Eastern Ukraine, on May 28, 2022. While Russian forces are likely suffering heavy losses as well — roughly 10,000 Russian soldiers are believed to have been killed in the war to date — this has not yet blunted their assault in the Donbas.
