The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelensky, announced on Thursday the sending of military reinforcements to the cities of Soledar and Bakhmut, located in the east of the country, in an area where the efforts of the Russian Armed Forces are currently focused.

“The main topic is Soledar, Bakhmut, the fight for the leadership of Donetsk in general. We have analyzed in detail what decisions are needed, what reinforcements are needed, what steps the commanders need to take in the coming days,” Zelensky said after a meeting with the General Staff.

The Ukrainian authorities warned on Monday that the Russian Army had launched a new offensive against Soledar, after the latest failed attempts to gain control of the town.

For its part, the Wagner mercenary group claimed on Tuesday to have seized the city of Soledar after intense battles, while kyiv has denied that the city is completely under the control of Russian forces.

In addition, Moscow has remodeled the military leadership, by changing the person in charge of the Russian forces deployed in Ukraine, who is now Valeri Gerasimov.
