1
00:00:01,140 --> 00:00:02,160
Bakhmut...
2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,480
Up to 32 Battalion tactical groups
were concentrated in the Bakhmut
3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,300
area back in January, half of which were directly
4
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:13,200
involved in the fighting and the rest
were providing casualty compensation.
5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:19,140
But Prigozhin, in an attempt to demonstrate
his usefulness, overplayed everything.
6
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:25,580
As you might guess, he overplayed his hand,
which is not surprising, given his background.
7
00:00:25,580 --> 00:00:31,740
Prigozhin pulled a third of the resource from
under Bakhmut to Soledar and successfully milled
8
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:36,840
it there. The 7th Guards Mountain Air Assault
Division and more had to plug the holes.
9
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:42,300
The military leadership began hastily plugging
the holes in the rear with new recruits.
10
00:00:43,140 --> 00:00:47,100
As a result of Prigozhin's multitrack
operation, the group of almost
11
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:52,920
25,000 troops, taking into account eliminated
and sanitary losses by more than a third.
12
00:00:53,580 --> 00:00:57,420
In addition to the meat grinder at
Soledar, the disposal of abandoned
13
00:00:57,420 --> 00:01:02,040
resources near Bakhmut continued, which also
affected the number of Russian troops there.
14
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,020
The bridgehead has stalled, and the
Russian army is not making any sudden
15
00:01:07,020 --> 00:01:12,120
moves and is waiting. The command must urgently
redeploy those who will make up for the losses,
16
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,020
and this compensation will obviously
no longer be Prigozhin's convicts.
17
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,660
But this takes time and resources.
Everything rests precisely on them.
18
00:01:22,380 --> 00:01:25,080
In the meantime, Prigozhin is handing out "For
19
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,440
the Takeover of Soledar" badges to
the Russian troops in a dead end.
20
00:01:29,460 --> 00:01:35,280
So, what is the latest news on Soledar, not
counting the statements from the Russian side.
21
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,940
"Ukrainian defense forces probably withdrew from
Soledar in the Donetsk region on January 16 and
22
00:01:41,940 --> 00:01:47,940
equipped new defensive lines to the west of the
city. Russian forces will further attempt to
23
00:01:47,940 --> 00:01:54,240
encircle Bakhmut. This was reported by the British
Ministry of Defense, citing intelligence data.
24
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,460
British intelligence pointed out that the town
was under the control of the Russian military and
25
00:01:59,460 --> 00:02:04,800
fighters of the Wagner Group. The latter made
up the bulk of the forces rushed to Soledar.
26
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,060
This Russian operation is aimed at
eventually encircling Bakhmut in
27
00:02:09,060 --> 00:02:13,380
the Donetsk region - one of the two supply
routes for Ukrainian troops stationed in the
28
00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:16,800
city "is under increasing pressure,"
the British Defense Ministry said.
29
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,600
The agency also shared images showing that the
south and east of Bakhmut have continued to
30
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,760
come under heavy artillery fire since early
January. British intelligence believes that
31
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,200
Ukrainian forces are probably continuing to
defend themselves on the outskirts of the
32
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,480
city. That is, there are no specifics yet,
but let's not rule out that possibility.
33
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:42,000
I have already said that Soledar, like
any other settlement in the combat zone,
34
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,820
is carrying out its functions and will continue
to do so to the best of its ability. Soledar
35
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:52,860
and Bakhmut have already exceeded expectations
in their work, a huge number of occupants and
36
00:02:52,860 --> 00:02:57,240
military equipment have been destroyed, and
defense lines have been created behind them.
37
00:02:57,780 --> 00:03:03,540
Therefore, if it is necessary to change positions
to save the lives of fighters, it should be done.
38
00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:09,240
Let the Russian occupiers remain cannon fodder,
while Ukrainian soldiers will still return to
39
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,460
Soledar and other temporarily occupied cities
of Ukraine. This will happen soon enough.
