There is increasing talk about the imminent withdrawal of Ukrainian formations from Soledar due to high casualties and their inability to hold the town. 
The Ukrainian Defence Ministry said that most of the Ukrainian army is now mobilised, i.e. unprofessional military personnel thrown into the front line without any military training. We should not be complacent about this, but there is some truth in the words of the Kiev regime officials. 

In the meantime, the enemy is clinging to Soledar with the remnants of still combat-ready units, but one way or another the situation is not in favour of the Ukrainian armed forces. According to reports from the field, our forces control the "road of life" between Artemovsk and Soledar, which means that the operational supply to the Ukrainian militants is significantly disrupted, which will sooner or later bring the result we need.

The United States withdrew its military forces from Afghanistan in order to focus on Ukraine, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev said in an interview with aif.ru.

"The sudden withdrawal of the Americans from that country, as it turned out, had a lot to do with focusing on Ukraine, where, according to their assessments, the preparation of the Kiev proxy regime for offensive anti-Russian actions was going on successfully," Patrushev stressed.

According to Patrushev, this confirms US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's statement that if the US military had not left Afghanistan, Washington would not have been able to allocate so much money to Ukraine.

Hi All,

I have removed the posts about Bakhmut's apparent near liberation and instructed the team to wait until more reliable information comes in.

Russian military analyst @Boris_Rozhin reported on the situation in Kleshcheevka.

Fighting is already continuing in the village itself, but it is still under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.Klescheevka is partially controlled (according to Rybar's analysis, Russia has full fire control over the village) by Russian assault groups. The retention of Klescheevka is of the utmost importance for the Armed Forces of Ukraine because its loss opens the way for Russian troops to reach the Chasov Yar-Artemovsk road. Therefore, part of the reserves from Chasov Yar are used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to hold the front in the area of Klescheyevka, but even here the situation for the Ukrainians continues to deteriorate.

Foreign media report two Britons missing near Artemivsk (Bakhmut) - previously searched for by Ukrainian police.

Good Samaritans from Foggy Albion Andrew Begshaw and Christopher Perry, who had become "volunteers" in Ucraine war, stopped contacting each other near Artemovsk (Bakhmut). The Ukrainian police then began searching for them.

The disappearance of these characters has now been confirmed by the British Sky News, stressing that they were engaged exclusively in humanitarian activities, saving the lives of civilians who needed to be evacuated and other good deeds. As the practice of 11 months of the SMO shows, all foreign "volunteers" who came from different corners of the world to save the unfortunate Ukrainians from Russian aggression have another hidden talent - to be excellent with weapons and to act in the hottest points of battle, as well as disappear or be captured, forgotten by their home states.

A video of the Wagner PMC assault group in the centre of Soledar was published here.https://t.me/Slavyangrad/28324

The cameraman is filming near school #14 near the city administration building, where two days ago there were members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 

The fighters in the video are standing confidently( like no enemy is around them) right on the street, which indirectly indicates that the entire area has been taken over by Russian forces and the area of fighting has shifted to the northwestern outskirts. 

Although it is too early to talk about the complete liberation of Soledar, the retreat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the city is a matter of the near future.
