exposed a growing rift in Moscow’s war effort, as the Russian military and a private mercenary group contradicted each other publicly about who should get credit for the gains.
After months of intense combat and heavy casualties, who actually controlled Soledar remained unclear Friday. The Ukrainian military said that its troops were still holding onto parts of the town but that Russia had deployed significant forces in the area and that the situation was dynamic. But after months of Russian military setbacks – a chaotic collapse in the north-east in September, a retreat from a major city in the south in November and heavy losses in the east all the while – Russian military leaders appeared to view the town as a symbolic prize worth competing for.
The founder of Wagner, Mr Yevgeny Prigozhin, has for months taken a greater prominence in Russia’s war efforts, recruiting prisoners to join his troops, deploying his own fighter jets and tanks, and openly denigrating and taunting Russian generals. “They are already gnawing among themselves over who should be credited with some tactical advance,” he said, adding that the dispute was “a clear signal of failure for the enemy” and an incentive for Ukraine to put more pressure on Russia.
