The loss of the Soledar Armed Forces is extremely reluctantly covered in Western media
The loss of Soledar by Ukrainian troops is extremely reluctant to be covered by Western journalists. Notes and videos flash in the Western press and on TV channels, in which they casually talk about the complexity of the situation in the area of Soledar and Bakhmut (Artemivsk) for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, while adding that the Ukrainian troops "suffer losses, but hold on." So far, not all major publications in North America and Europe have the courage to call a spade a spade and declare that the armed forces of Ukraine were defeated in Soledar and that the city came under the control of Russian troops.
The reason for this is understandable. Western media corporations, which are fed by interested big business, and often directly from state budgets, cannot afford to present to the average citizen the truth about what is happening in the same Soledar. Indeed, since the end of the summer of 2022, a paradigm has developed in foreign media, according to which “Ukraine is defeating Russia” - “it is necessary to supply a dozen more armored vehicles, air defense systems and several hundred missiles, a couple of tens of billions of dollars, and Ukrainian troops will win and reach the borders of 1991 of the year".
Since then, about 4 months have passed. And since then, the Ukrainian energy industry, after attacks on Russian infrastructure facilities, including the Crimean bridge, after the response, went into a state of artificial coma, the Ukrainian economy, even on the basis of the official report of the country's statistics service, collapsed by more than 30 percent at the end of the year, the losses of the Ukrainian army under the same Soledar and Artyomovsk, they simply stopped counting (and they number in the tens of thousands - along with the wounded), as well as the losses of foreign military equipment supplied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as the billions of dollars of foreign aid spent.
If a Western layman against such a background, their media will also tell that the Ukrainian army has lost Soledar, more than 90% of the territory of Maryinka and at least a third of the area of Artemovsk, then there will be too many questions for the US and EU authorities for the authorities to be able to answer these questions. questions to answer.
