[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] Soledar, a salt mining city in eastern Ukraine, is currently a battleground between the Ukrainian and Russian armies. The Russian mercenary group "Wagner" claims to have controlled Soledar, but this claim is denied by the Ukrainian side. .

The U.S. space technology company "Maxar Technologies" recently released aerial photos of the current situation in Sultar, and it can be seen that the entire city has been completely changed, showing that the local fighting is unprecedentedly fierce.

According to comprehensive foreign media reports, from the photos released by "Maxar Technologies", it can be seen that the urban area of ​​Suledar has been almost razed to the ground, and it is full of craters like the surface of the moon.

In August last year, the buildings in the urban area of ​​Suledar were mostly intact, but by January 10 this year, the buildings had almost become ruins.

The "Associated Press" reported that Ukrainian military officers who fought near Suledar pointed out that the Russian army's offensive mode is usually to send one or two waves of soldiers to raid Ukrainian fortifications first, many of whom are from the Wagner Group. The Ukrainian army suffered heavy losses during fortifications.

When the Ukrainian army was exhausted or suffered casualties, the Russian army sent another wave of well-trained soldiers, mostly paratroopers or special forces.

The Russian mercenary group "Wagner" claimed on the 11th that it had taken control of Sultar, but Serhiy Cherevatyi, a spokesman for the Eastern Bloc of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, refuted the claim that Russia controlled the city as untrue. Deputy Defense Minister Maria Hanna Maliar wrote on the 11th that the Russian army tried to break through the Ukrainian defense line, but failed. The Russian side has not completely captured the city, and the Ukrainian army is still fighting.

Zelensky said that Russia urgently needs a victory propaganda, and the local fighting is still going on.
