President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the remains of Russian soldiers were covering the ground of a Ukrainian town where there’s no life left amid intense fighting.
In Soledar, once a bustling salt mining town in eastern Ukraine, the ground is now scarred from a relentless stream of projectiles and gunfire as Russian forces aim to take possession of the nearby and key municipality of Bakhmut.
Volodymyr Zelensky said that everything in the town was completely destroyed, with no walls left standing and the lifeless bodies of the invading Russian Soldiers decaying on the streets.
Ukraine’s military asserted 710 of Vladimir Putin’s men had been killed in one day of the now-tenth-month war in yet another setback in Russia’s brutal aggression.
But Britain’s defence ministry said that Russian fighters and forces of Vladimir Putin’s Wagner contract group were likely now in control of most of the salt mining town after advancements in the last four days.
Yet this rare Russian victory has come at a lofty price for Vladimir Putin’s men, with Volodymyr Zelensky saying that it’s been a bloodbath in Soledar.
The Ukrainian leader said that everything was completely destroyed and there was almost no life left, and that thousands of their people had been lost, and the whole ground near Soledar was blanketed with the remains of the occupiers and scars from the blows, and that this was how madness looked like.
Soledar, in the industrial Donbas region, lies just nine miles from Bakhmut, where troops from both sides have been taking heavy losses in some of the most intense trench warfare since Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year.
Russia is endeavouring to take possession of Bakhmut as it has a web of cavernous mining tunnels below the ground which can hold armies or tanks.
Russian troops have stepped up their attack on Soledar, forcing Ukrainian troops to deliver wave after wave of aggression led by the Wagner mercenaries.
Britain said Russia’s Soledar axis was highly likely an effort to surround Bakhmut from the north, and to disrupt Ukrainian lines of communication.
Britain’s Ministry of Defence added that part of the fighting had concentrated on entrances to the 200km long disused salt mine tunnels which run underneath the district and that both sides are probably concerned that they could be used for infiltration behind their lines.
It appears that Vladimir Putin is content to sacrifice his people for his ego.
All these soldiers are dead, and young men and their families grieving while Vladimir Putin demands their sacrifice from a bunker.
Vladimir Putin doesn’t care about how many Russians forfeit their lives. He will chuck as many Russians to the front line to win this war. The only way to win this war is for Vladimir Putin to step down or be captured, but the latter would be the best resolution.
The main problem here is that Russia (aka Vladimir Putin) just doesn’t care how many lives are lost, as long as it’s not his own and he can declare victory. This won’t stop until the Russian people themselves make it stop, but they’re so brainwashed that they can’t see the wood through the trees, but what we do need is an end to this madness, but at the moment it’s more war, more death, then more war and more death. This could end here and now if putrid Putin hauled his forces out of Ukraine, and you have to feel for the citizens of Russia who are sending their sons, husbands, and partners to unavoidable death.
