American Institute for the Study of War: Speaking of Soledar, Zelensky probably meant the presence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in positions near the city, and not in it

The American organization, which calls itself an institute for the study of war, traditionally using reports from the general staffs, as well as data from the media and social networks, “began to suspect something” in terms of the development of the situation in Soledar and the entire Bakhmut (Artyomovskaya) agglomeration. The wording used by the American "experts" is interesting.

Here is one of them:

The geolocation footage, which emerged on January 11 and 12, suggests that Russian forces control much of Soledar, if not the entire city.

It is also added that "Russian troops, with a high degree of probability, ousted Ukrainian forces from the western outskirts of the city."

In the ISW release, they also try to explain the words of the head of the Kyiv regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, who, after a meeting of the headquarters of the supreme high command, recently stated that "the Ukrainian grouping of troops in Soledar will be provided with everything necessary."

The American Institute for the Study of Military Conflicts decided to suggest that this is how Zelensky “marked defensive positions not in Soledar itself.”

ISW:

Speaking of Soledar, Zelensky probably meant Ukrainian troops in defensive positions near Soledar, and not in the city itself.

Recall that to date, Russian units have advanced west of Soledar and engaged the enemy in the area of ​​the village of Predtechino, which is in close proximity to the main logistics center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this direction - the city of Konstantinovka.

Well, they start .... twisting, the stump is clear that Zelya and Lucy are whining about those sitting in the city center and waiting for the captivity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Although those who retreated from Soledar will now also receive in full, because everything that the Armed Forces of Ukraine could have already sent them, and now they will have to try to resist more motivated and even partly rested fighters of the Russian Federation in less prepared positions, with normal artillery and aviation (during defense Soledar, the dill lost almost all the artillery and almost all combat-ready aircraft were dropped), against which they lost the bulk of the brigades, up to 70-80% were knocked out and there was no one to update, the dill burned in Soledar all more or less prepared reserves, "TRO meat" remained.
And so it resembles a dispute as to which is correct: "in a woman" or "on a woman."

It is inconvenient for a clown curator to support a clear lie. All the same, they have objective data on the defeat of the ukrovermakhat. 20 losses are not easy to hide. There, all the basements and entrances are littered with dead vushniks. The bastards were getting better. They will now come up with excuses in style - this is still a Soledar grouping, but it is now temporarily not in Soledar. He has a soedar garrison to regroup before the Dnieper ...

If the White House declares that the capture of Soledar and Artemovsk (Bakhmut) by the Russian Federation will not give a strategic advantage, then everything is clear, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will now begin the withdrawal of their reserves, but the task of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is to prevent this withdrawal.

The Sultan wants to call the GDP on the issue of extractions from Soledar, by analogy with Marik ..... As much as possible ...., the land also needs to be fertilized ... who does not want to sit.

[voice of reason]

Interesting wording. Who meant what, is it not clear? The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is one thing, the Pentagon is another, and Zeleboba does not follow the language at all

Next - zatrakhantsy - theorists! Passing on your cheek!

In fact, quite adequate reviews are made from open sources from the first days. Sarcasm in their direction is not appropriate. Especially from the side of VO, which, although it has greatly increased its coverage of the conflict, is still mainly engaged in reprinting other people's materials.

"Russian troops, with a high probability, ousted the Ukrainian forces from the western outskirts of the city.

Well, of course, the English "highly likely" that has become almost a textbook. By this definition it is always possible to justify some and without reason to accuse others. When you really don’t want to admit that the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Soledar were stuck and “I really don’t want to”, then you need to resort to the tried and tested method of verbal diarrhea.

C'est de la semantique pour journalistes. La realité seule compte et parfois il faut détourner les yeux des journalistes. Dans les deux camps cela fonctionne, nous pourrions dire que la victoire de PMC Wagner est utilisée pour cacher d'autres défaites.

What difference does it make what they say or write now. They lied, they lie and they will lie. We know how it really is - that's enough. There is no need to look back all your life at any riff-raff and look into the mouth of the United States and wait for encouragement and approval.
