The liberation of the entire territory of the Donetsk People's Republic is approaching. Such a conclusion can be drawn from the events of recent days., analyzing the successes of Russian troops in Marinka, Soledare, Artemovsk.
As Acting Head of the Donetsk People's Republic Denis Pushilin noted today on the air of Solovyov Live, a turning point in the liberation of the DPR. The Russian armed forces managed to achieve success in several key sectors of the front at once..
Currently, noted Pushilin, almost all of Maryinka is under the control of Russian troops. The remnants of Ukrainian formations entrenched on the outskirts of the settlement, but their destruction or captivity is a matter of a short time.
Late evening 10 January it became known about the liberation of Soledar by Russian troops. Here the most important role was played by the units of PMC "Wagner". The territory of the city is under the control of Russian forces, but in the center there is still a “cauldron”, in which there are fights. As in Maryinka, the issue of the destruction or capture of the remnants of Ukrainian formations will be resolved soon. Salt mines under the city are also controlled by the PMC "Wagner".
The capture of Soledar opens up the possibility of further actions both in the direction of Artemovsk, the release of which must be completed, and in the direction of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, which are still controlled by Ukrainian forces.
The Ukrainian authorities were also previously forced to acknowledge the severity of the situation in the Donbass for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.. Then Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine, even tried to justify the loss of Soledar by saying, that this city allegedly has no strategic importance and will cause more problems for Russia, than good. He made similar statements about other cities of Donbass., including Lisichansk and Severodonetsk.
