The Ukrainian army says it has repelled Russian attacks in 13 different locations, but the hard-fought town of Soledar in the Donbass is not mentioned. Earlier, Russian units had reported the capture of the city.
“In the past 24 hours, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the occupiers in the settlements of Khryanivka (Kharkiv region), Stelmakhivka (Luhansk region), Spirne, Rozdolivka, Vezele, Bakhmut, Klishchiivka, Majorsk, Vodyane, Nevelske, Krasnohorivka. , Marjinka and Prechystivka beaten back in the Donetsk region,” the General Staff situation report said on Wednesday.
The town of Bakhmut mentioned in the situation report is located south of Soledar, the towns of Rosdoliwka and Wesele are located northwest and northeast of Soledar. The deliberate omission of the name of the small town indicates that Ukrainian forces may have lost most of control of Soledar.
Soledar is considered an important building block of the Ukrainian fortress wall for the agglomeration between Slowyansk and Kramatorsk. It was the last metropolitan area in the Donbass region still controlled by the Ukrainians.
