The images were taken six months apart. The first exhibition of the pristine fields was taken on the first of August 2022. The second is from January 7, 2023 and shows the same fields now covered with craters. Russia has made Bakhmut the main target of a winter advance involving hundreds of thousands of reservists and mercenaries. It has taken the eastern part of the city and the northern and southern suburbs, but so far has not managed to close a circle around the Ukrainian defenders.
