The Commander of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, Colonel General Alexander Syrsky, visited Ukrainian positions in the area of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) and Soledar, which are being attacked by Russian units.
This was reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent from the Military Media Center telegram channel, which serves the interests of Kyiv military propaganda.

At the same time, the Ukrainian general said that the Russian attack on Soledar was not successful.
“The enemy again made a desperate attempt to storm the city of Soledar in different directions and threw the most professional detachments of the Wagnerites into battle. At the same time, thanks to the courage of our defenders, the skillful and competent use of fire, the enemy suffered significant losses and once again retreated, despite enemy propaganda statements about the allegedly captured Soledar,” Syrsky said.
Let us note that Russian sources did not report “captured Soledar” – only mention was made of progress in the town.
