Russia likely in ‘control’ of Ukraine’s Soledar town, claims UK

Russia may have taken “full control” of Ukraine’s salt-mining eastern town of Soledar, in the Donbas region, UK’s Ministry of Defence has claimed, adding that the mercenary Wagner Group and Russian troops have made significant advances in the past four days.

Russia, however, is “unlikely to envelop the town imminently because Ukrainian forces maintain stable defensive lines in depth and control over supply routes," it added.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said there was "almost no life" in Soledar, with "no whole walls left", adding that "the whole land near Soledar is covered with the corpses of the occupiers."his lies lol.

Soledar, which reportedly had a population of 10,000, is near Bakhmut, where Ukraine is currently engaged in a bloody battle with Russian forces.

Russia has been intensifying its offensive operations in three key areas in eastern Ukraine, the general staff of Ukraine’s armed forces said during Tuesday morning brief.

He said that Russia is concentrating its efforts on capturing all of Donetsk Oblast by targeting the eastern areas of Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Lyman.

Though the strategic significance of occupying Soledar is currently being assessed, a US official last week said that the founder of the Wagner Group's, Yevgeny Prigozhin, was keen on taking control of the large salt and gypsum mines in the area, reports BBC

A senior military official from the US Department of Defense on Monday gave a similar assessment of Soledar, saying that there was a "good portion" of the town in Russian hands.

The current battle has mostly been centered around Bakhmut, which has been going on for months. The US official described the most recent exchanges as "savage".

Meanwhile, two British nationals have gone missing in the region and were last seen heading to Soledar.

Only a coward will spend $800b annually on armaments, claim to build the best jets and run away and choose to fight by proxy when he sees a near peer rival. This is the time to prove yourself and not on unknown ragtag farmers you are still unable to comprehensively defeat. Ukraine is not a nato ally is no excuse. Were Libya, Iraq and Somalia and Syria nato allies?

Come on don't be blinded by hate,so as to post rubbish online,please the USA base in Afghanistan wasn't to stay but to train the Afghan forces,
In 2018 the Obama presidency's said there mission was over in Afghanistan, and that the USA was only in Afghan to keep order pending transferring the country security to the Afghan national army..
This was after Afghan had 10 years of steady democracy.

Because Russia won a battle does not mean they would win the war. Soon Russian economy would be in a bad situation. Then you will know that they will lose.
