The battle for Soledar continues

The Russian and Ukrainian armies announced on Wednesday that heavy fighting was taking place in Soledar, rejecting an earlier claim by the Russian mercenary group Wagner that it had taken control of the town, which lies in eastern Ukraine.

The Russian army announced that fighting was continuing and that Russian infantry units had surrounded the city to the north and south.

A spokesman for Ukraine's eastern military command told Ukrainian television that the situation in Soledar appeared "complicated".

This is one of the most active conflict regions, which makes an independent assessment of the situation there difficult.

A day ago, the British Ministry of Defense said that the 'Wagner' group and Russian forces probably had under control most of the town of Soledar, which is located near Bakhmut, one of the main objectives of Russia, at this stage of the offensive her.

During a press conference on Wednesday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the way Ukraine is guaranteeing protection in the Bakhmut area is an indication of the courage of Ukrainian forces willing to defend their homeland. Yes, according to Mr. Stoltenberg, it proves how vital is the increase of military support for Ukraine.

" Our support guarantees a real change on the ground and at this key point in the war, we must do even more and quickly ," said Mr. Stoltenberg./VOA
