Russian army praises ‘courageous’ Wagner forces in Soledar
The Russian army has praised the “courageous” forces of mercenary group Wagner after Moscow announced control of Ukraine’s Soledar, in an unusual recognition of the private fighting force.

“This combat mission was successfully implemented by the courageous and selfless actions of the volunteers of the Wagner assault squads,” the Russian defence ministry said in a statement, referring to the group’s storming of Soledar.

If all the tales of the Russian military lack of morale, equipment, trained fighters and Russian civilian support are true- they don't seem to be particularly bothered.

On the other side- Boris Johnson is heading for Ukraine.
 
Who really knows? We never know the truth while it is happening. You are a Russian who wants to believe, so you do.

News filtered out two days ago that Soledar had fallen. I've waited for mainstream western confirmation to actually announce it as fact.

You are a Zelensky that doesn't want to believe it, so you don't.

Who really knows ?
 
The chances of getting anything truthful out of Russia or the Ukraine is about 5%.

They both lie their asses off.
 
Sky News reports that ' Russia's taking of Soledor illustrates its lack of success '

Orwell would bust a gut laughing.

Russia-Ukraine live: Situation around Bakhmut ‘extremely tense’

Russians pushing on Bakhmut from ‘north, south and east’: AJ correspondent
Al Jazeera’s Hoda Abdel-Hamid, reporting from Kyiv, says Ukrainian forces are facing a “very difficult” situation in the eastern city of Bakhmut.

“As we understand, the situation now is that Russian forces, led by the paramilitary Wagner Group, have been pushing from the north, south and east on Bakhmut,” Abdel-Hamid said.

“The Ukrainian forces are still holding their ground, albeit it is precarious ground, in the western part of the city,” she added.

“It would be significant if indeed the Russians do take control of Bakhmut on several levels – because it will give Russia a military victory that it hasn’t had in a very long time … and would also pave the way for Russia to reach nearby Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.”

The Zelenskies have blown their bridges .
