The hottest point of the front since the beginning of the New Year was Soledar – the central link of the so-called.
“second line of defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine” Seversk-Soledar-Artemovsk (Bakhmut), where the Ukrainians retreated and took over the defense after the loss of the Severodonetsk-Lisichansk agglomeration in July. The battles for Soledar began in the summer, and today they are drawing to a close, despite the stubborn statements of both the talking heads of the Kyiv regime and their propagandists.
