Moscow said its forces had seized the town of Soledar in Donetsk region, a gateway the city of Bakhmut, where bloody fighting has raged for months. Kyiv denied Russia's claim.
Russia claimed Wednesday that its forces had seized control of Soledar, a town in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region that is a gateway to the nearby and fiercely fought-over city of Bakhmut.
In audio messages published to his Telegram channel late Tuesday night, Prighozin said his forces had captured Soledar. “Wagner units have taken the whole territory of Soledar under control,” he said. “There are street battles ongoing. The number of prisoners taken will be announced tomorrow.
Thousands of soldiers have died on each side fighting over Soledar and Bakhmut in recent months, even though military experts say neither appears to be of tremendous strategic value. Capturing Bakhmut would mark a territorial advance for Russia toward other key Ukrainian cities in the eastern Donetsk region, but experts have said it will be difficult for the Russian troops to push onward.
