Russians make ‘tactical advances’ near key target of Bakhmut; Kyiv says situation is ‘extremely difficult’
Ukraine’s northeast, eastern and southern regions were hit by another wave of missile strikes at the start of the week, while Russian forces and their colleagues in the Wagner Group of mercenary forces have made “tactical advances” into the small Donbas town of Soledar near Bakhmut, according to the latest intelligence update from Britain’s Ministry of Defense.
Soledar is around 6 miles north of Bakhmut, the capture of which likely continues to be Russia’s immediate main operational objective.
On Monday night, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that while Russian forces “have now concentrated their greatest efforts on Soledar, the result of this difficult and long battle will be the liberation of our entire Donbas.”
He conceded, however, that the fighting was “extremely difficult” around Soledar, a place where he said there were barely any walls left standing.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked allies for their renewed commitment to give his country more weapons, but called for a “new level of modern military equipment.”
“It is even more important now when Russia is gathering forces for another escalation,” Zelenskyy said during a nightly address on his official Telegram channel.
Zelenskyy said that now was the “time for new powerful decisions, for new powerful support.”
“The free world has everything necessary to stop Russian aggression and bring the terrorist state to a historic defeat and it is important not only for us, it is important for global democracy, for all those who value freedom,” Zelenskyy added.
