Russia said on Friday its forces had wrested control of the war-scarred town of Soledar in east Ukraine, its first claim of victory in months of battlefield setbacks, but Ukraine said fierce fighting was still under way.
The nod was an unusual recognition of the controversial force following talk of infighting and rivalry between Wagner and the official military. In Siversk, a town north of Soledar that could be next in line for the Russian advance, artillery echoed around the battered buildings dotted with a few remaining residents and Ukrainian military personnel braving light snow and freezing wind.Oleksandr Sirenko, who was chopping window frames and floors from destroyed flats into smaller pieces for firewood, said he did not want Kyiv's troops to retreat.
The US-based Institute for the Study of War said Russian information operations have"overexaggerated" the importance of Soledar. "To win this war, we need more military equipment, heavy equipment," said Andriy Yermak, head of Ukraine's presidential office. "This concern about the next level of escalation, for me, is some kind of protocol," Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov told the BBC on Friday, dismissing NATO fears about provoking Russia.
