Russian troops did not capture Soledar. Their statements about the alleged "capture" of the city are untrue.
This was said by the spokesman of the Eastern Group of Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Serhiy Cherevaty.
"No, this is not true. The fighting is going on in the city," Cherevaty told the publication, thereby refuting the Russian Federation's claims.
However, he did not disclose details for security reasons.
We will remind you that today the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced the so-called capture of Soledar. They claim that this "will help the occupying forces to block the Ukrainian troops in Bakhmut."
We will remind, in the morning the Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Malyar reported that this night was hot in Soledar, fierce battles continued there. But she noted that our fighters are holding the defense in extremely difficult conditions.
