BAKHMUT. UNBREAKABLE NAMES
These images have preserved something impossible to recreate: authentic moments from the lives of our defenders in the Bakhmut sector during 2022–2023.
Footage from training exercises and combat positions—captured by the soldiers themselves, unaware of just how precious these records would one day become.
Their voices, their faces, their bonds of brotherhood. The stories of those who returned, those who fell, those held in captivity, and those who are still being awaited.
This film was created by the NGO "I Will Definitely Return" (*Obov’yazkovo Povernus*) with the support of families of missing-in-action service members, who shared stories and personal video footage of their loved ones.
Behind every video lies a life, a story, a family, and a sense of anticipation. These are the voices of those awaited at home—a reminder of individuals whose return remains the greatest dream of their loved ones.
This film serves as our tribute to the defenders—ensuring their names are not forgotten and their stories are heard.
We remember. We believe. We wait.
