| 2023-01-10 |
| [Kyiv Independent] After an unsuccessful attempt to capture Soledar, Russian troops changed tactics and commenced another major assault, Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar reported. The new assault is expected to be powerful as Russian troops have regrouped and transferred additional units to Soledar. According to Maliar, Russian troops have also recovered losses by deploying a "large number of assault groups formed from Wagner Group's best reserves." In a video address on Jan. 8, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Soledar is one of the "bloodies places on the front." Serhii Cherevatyi, Ukraine's Eastern Military Command spokesman, reported that the city of Soledar, Donetsk Oblast, which has long been a target of Russia's Bakhmut offensive, is "practically destroyed." A view closer to the front: Ukrainian mil. journalist Yuriy Butusov - update from Soledar. The situation is difficult, Russians are throwing all their forces to reach the supply line behind the city. But, there are forces and equipment, and with the right use, the enemy can be defeated. Translation below. |

| #2 There was a Press Release last night, and the JournoList is still a thing. Over a thousand google hits when I searched for "covered with the corpses" in regards to russia in the last 24 hours. Typically I discount articles that have cut and paste phrasing. |
