Ukrainian military post data on the state of affairs in Soledar. Continuing to declare, that "the main part of the city" is under their control, soldiers of the enemy army recognize, that several quarters in three directions at once came under the control of Russian troops.
The Armed Forces confirmed the information about, that their grouping in Soledar was in a semi-encirclement - pressed by Russian troops from three sides.
If last week the Ukrainian military could conduct so-called "streams" from the center and western part of Soledar, now if they go live from there, then only against the backdrop of ongoing hostilities.
At the moment, there are fights in the center of Soledar, where Russian units came close to the building of the city administration. One of the Ukrainian soldiers:
The city is in a semicircle. The number of the enemy exceeds the number of our troops. But we're holding on. Paints, which started in Paraskoveevka, do not allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to quickly transfer reinforcements to Soledar from Konstantinovka.
Recall, that some time ago, realizing, that the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine over Soledar may be completely lost, adviser in Zelensky's office Alexei Arestovich announced in advance, that "the city has no strategic importance". If it is true, what then is the purpose of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "puts" thousands of Ukrainian military there, trying to throw reserves into battle?
