Ukrainians Strike Back in Soledar Against Infamous Wagner Group Forcing Retreat

Russian mercenaries took great losses on January 12 after the Ukranian Boarder Guard “side by side with the Ukrainian Defense Forces” engaged in a massive resistance in Soledar, Donetsk, as they aim to “[deter] enemy attacks in the Bakhmut sector”, a nearby at-risk town.

The name Soledar, translates to "a gift of salt" in Ukrainian and Russian, as the area is known for its salt production.

“The mercenaries of the Russian PMC were advancing in small groups to the city buildings. Enemy infantry was accumulating in one of the yards.

Border guards opened fire at the Wagnerians from 82-mm mortars. As a result of the shelling, the invaders suffered losses in manpower, the enemy unit retreated.”
