Hello Team!
- This video provides a frontline update focused on Bakhmut and Soledar in the Donetsk region of Ukraine
- Bakhmut is important for the Russians to capture in order to advance further, either with maximalist intentions for all of Ukraine or just to secure the Donetsk and Luhansk regions
Soledar Situation
- Most of Soledar is now under Russian control, with Ukrainians holding out in the northwestern outskirts near the railway line
- The road to Soledar (T0513) is under Russian fire control, cutting off Ukrainian supplies and reinforcements
- Ukrainian troops in Soledar are running low on food, water and communications. A Ukrainian soldier told CNN they feel "abandoned" and may not be able to withdraw in time if no order comes today
- If Soledar fully falls, it threatens Ukrainian positions in nearby Siversk and Bakhmut
Krasnohora and Paraskevivka
- Russian forces are advancing on Krasnohora and have reached the outskirts of Paraskevivka to the north of Bakhmut
- Heavy fighting is ongoing as Russians try to gain control and cut off Bakhmut's northern supply route
- There are also reports of Russians storming positions in Blahodatne further north
Bakhmut Outskirts
- Wagner Group forces are attempting to advance in the eastern outskirts of Bakhmut
- The waste sorting plant in the east is now under Russian control, providing them a useful vantage point
- In the south, Opytne is now fully captured by Russia with only small arms fire ongoing
- North of Klishchivka, Russians were repelled trying to enter the town, which is heavily fortified by Ukraine
Wrap Up
- The situation remains very difficult for Ukrainian forces around Bakhmut and Soledar
- Russia is applying pressure from multiple directions to try to encircle Bakhmut and cut off its supply lines
- However, the city will likely hold for some time as Russians culminate their offensive, unless they gain significant momentum and morale from capturing Soledar
