The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denies the loss of the village of Blagodatnoye near Soledar, the cleansing of which was completed by the fighters of the Wagner PMC
The village of Blagodatnoye near Soledar, which the head of Wagner PMC Evgeny Prigozhin announced the day before, has been completely cleared of the remnants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is reported by the fighters of the assault groups that liberated this settlement. The video with the messages of the fighters was posted on the official TG-channel of the "musicians".
Despite the fact that Blagodatnoye has been under our control for almost a day now, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not recognize the loss of the village. According to the data provided by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are still allegedly defending the Sol station, which was taken by our troops two weeks ago. On the other hand, the loss of Soledar has not yet been recognized in Kyiv.
- said in the message PMC "Wagner".
Blagodatnoe is located between Soledar and Bakhmut (Artemovsk). The transfer of the village under our control allows us to increase pressure on Krasnaya Gora and Paraskovievka, for which there are fierce battles. These settlements are actually the outskirts of Bakhmut. According to Rybar's TG-channel, ours are now advancing from the northern outskirts of Krasnaya Gora and from the Bakhmutka River in the southeast of Paraskovievka. The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is trying to restrain the advance of the "musicians" by redeploying reserves.
Meanwhile, information appeared on Ukrainian resources about the alleged withdrawal of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Bakhmut. A map and a message about an organized withdrawal appeared on one of the accounts of a social network banned in Russia, allegedly associated with Polish mercenaries from the Foreign Legion of Territorial Defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There is no confirmation of this information, it can be both true and disinformation.
