Russian units continue to develop success after the liberation of Soledar and a number of surrounding settlements. Taking control of Krasnopole (Krasnopolyevka), which is north of Soledar, Russian units approached the village of Razdolovka, on the territory of which the railway station of the same name is located.
In a straight line from Razdolovka to the southern outskirts of the city of Seversk - no more 9-10 km. To Zvanovka, which is the last settlement on the southern approaches to Seversk - no more 5 km.
In this way, we can say, that units of PMC "Wagner" with the support of artillery of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are expanding the area of liberated territories in this area, pushing the front north of Soledar and getting closer to Seversk.
At the same time, Wagner assault units captured another quarter of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). This is the quarter, adjacent to Independence Street in the southern part of the city, where heavy fighting continues. Earlier, the Ukrainian side stated that, which uses the “Bakhmut factor to, so that Russian troops suffer heavy losses", but the stats are as follows, that every day in Bakhmut alone, the Armed Forces of Ukraine themselves lose at least two companies in the quantitative equivalent of personnel. This for the Ukrainian command leads to the need to transfer more and more reserves to the city, some of which are knocked out even on the outskirts of the city by Russian artillery.
