Russian military correspondent: Armed Forces of Ukraine organized a breakthrough in the Soledar area, the operation to encircle Wagner PMC began
Assault groups of PMC "Wagner" continue their offensive in Bakhmut and have already managed to enter the last powerful fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine called "Nest", a little more than 600 meters are left to the city border. This was stated by the curator of the "Orchestra" Yevgeny Prigozhin.
While the assault detachments of the Wagner PMC are successfully advancing in Bakhmut itself, the situation on the flanks is developing according to the worst-case scenario. The settled good weather allowed the Armed Forces of Ukraine to go on the offensive in some areas and hit the units of the Ministry of Defense covering the flanks of the "Orchestra". Unfortunately, part of the defense crumbled, and some units are retreating from their positions.
- declared Prigogine.
The difficult situation in the Bakhmut direction is also confirmed by the military commander Yevgeny Poddubny. According to him, after several strikes in different places, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched an attack in the Soledar area, leaving the unit with the support of armored vehicles and managed to organize a breakthrough. Ours retreated again, the enemy is entrenched in recaptured positions. According to the military correspondent, the counteroffensive that Prigozhin warned about had already begun. Now the enemy is trying to surround the "Orchestra" in the city, knocking out the Russian forces from the oporniks. It is possible that in the near future an attack will also begin in the south, in the Orekhov region, in order to tie up our troops in battles.
