The Ukrainian soldiers are still holding their positions in the city of Solentar, despite the fierce attack launched by the Russian forces, assured earlier yesterday the Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Hana Maliar.
The head of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, was quick to announce late on Tuesday that his forces were in control of the city of Soledar in eastern Ukraine, but fighting continued, Reuters reported, citing Russian sources.
Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed that Solentar is now under the control of his forces, who are encircling the resisting Ukrainian soldiers. “The number of prisoners will be announced tomorrow,” he said in a statement carried by Russian media.
