Fighting continues in Soledar
Recently, the head of the Center Alexander Musienko, a military legal researcher, said that hostilities are still ongoing in Soledar.
According to him, an indicator that even Russia does not have confidence is manifested in the fact that the occupiers constantly announce that they allegedly took Soledar .
Musienko stressed that the situation in the city has not yet been determined and it is not such that it can be stated that Russia has captured everything. He added that now time is being won to receive support from the West.
