The armed forces are holding under fire the positions around Soledar, which the enemy is trying to occupy.

The losses of the occupiers reach thousands.

In constant assaults, the Russians do not even take their wounded from the battlefield, TSN reports. 

The cost of this city's defense is clearly visible on the side of the road, where the blood-soaked helmets and body armor of wounded soldiers are.

Against the backdrop of artillery explosions, medical crews are on duty 24 hours a day.

"They are brought from Bakhmut and Soledar.

It was lively for three days, and before that, it was calm for three days.

Zhivenko is more than a hundred wounded, but mostly light, contusions, simply put," says medic Vadim.

On the territory of Artemsol, one of the paratroopers' units repelled the attack of the Russians almost completely surrounded for several days in a row.

Now they were transferred to another part of the front, to strengthen the flanks, because in the morning there was information that the Russians were impersonating the soldiers of the Armed Forces and trying to break through to the rear.

"If you see people in green ribbons coming at you, and a white or red one on their knee, you shoot without warning.

"White is their usual chmobyk, Zeke is what a red ribbon is on the leg," the fighters say. 

These paratroopers held the center of Soledar until the end, for the first time they tell journalists how the enemy acted there.

"There are approximately 20,000 Zeckwagnerites in this area.

Close shooting combat, grenade launchers, machine guns, artillery, tank support.

If they can't, they "open" our line of fire.

Then the tank works from closed positions and the mortar works.

Then yes, it is pushed, pushed by the mass", - says the commander of the paratroopers unit, Anatoliy.

Our fighters are still knocking the orcs out of the city blocks.

The positions where the enemy is trying to gain a foothold are under our complete fire damage.

"Battles are taking place on the outskirts.

There are a lot of enemy infantry," the fighters state.

Currently, the main battles in this direction have spilled over to the south of Bakhmut - the main city of this part of the front.

Rashists try to break into his quarters in small groups.

The district of Zabakhmutka is the hottest place where the fighting is going on.

The enemy's tactics in this area are unchanged - to attack in waves.

When the first one falls from the shots of the Armed Forces, the next one immediately appears.

Thousands of bodies of Russian soldiers lie in the fields.

"They don't evacuate their wounded, they lie and freeze there," says Anatoliy.

The Russian advance from Soledar can really hit the eastern flank of Bakhmut's defenses and push the front line towards the city, army officials say.

But the Armed Forces are so fortified here that new attacks by the Russians will cost them thousands of casualties, the army has already proven this.
