RUSSIA ANNOUNCED, UKRAINE DENIED
In a statement made by the Russian Ministry of Defense last Friday, it was reported that control of the critically important city of Soledar in Donetsk was seized after the ongoing violent clashes with the Ukrainian army. It was stated that with full control over Soledar, the supply routes of the Ukrainian troops in the southwestern city of Bakhmut would be cut off, and then the Ukrainian Armed Forces would be blockaded.
The response from Ukraine to the critical statement from Russia was not delayed. Serhiy Cherevatyi, Spokesperson of the Eastern Military Command of the Ukrainian General Staff, stated that the information that Russia had taken control of Soledar was not true. “We won’t give any more details because we don’t want to reveal the positions of our soldiers,” Cherevatyi said.
