Soledar, where fierce battles are taking place, is not under the control of the Russian army. 

On January 11, the spokesman of the Eastern group of troops of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Serhiy Cherevaty, informed Suspilno about this.

"The Russians say that Soledar is under their control, this is not true. The details are in the summary of the General Staff, wait," he said.

It is also worth noting that the statement of the founder of PMK "Wagner" Prigozhin, that allegedly the entire territory of Soledar was taken under the control of his mercenaries, is not true.

And the photos, where the "Wagnerians" are allegedly in the mines of the city, are fake.

"It seems that the location of Prigozhin does not correspond to reality, and he is not in the Soledar Mines. An element of the IPSO from Prigozhin's PR staff, which is aimed at the internal audience in order to somehow justify the insane losses among the prisoners," the Strategic Communications Department of the Armed Forces emphasized.
