Wagne小组在soledar中心大摆大摇

Footage from Soledar, taken under control by fighters of PMC "Wagner"

这是俄罗斯国防部的数据：乌克兰半年被死9万多军人

对昨天的话题增加一点。

俄罗斯只有20万左右的职业军人。大多数正规军人是义务兵，按照俄罗斯法律不可进入俄罗斯官方认定的乌克兰领土。

如果名义还是个operation，而不是war，俄军如何征兵都不可能在现在的战线以外开辟离它远而又很大的新战场。

如果继续征兵50万，那可能是为了准备可能的更惨烈或更持久的战争；或者如前所述，要宣布战争而开辟新战场。

Russian mercenaries, Wagner's group have succeeded in annihilating 500 Ukrainian soldiers in Soledar. This is because the Ukrainian troops do not want to give up. Now, the Wagner group is declaring its victory in Soledar. This was disclosed by the founder of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin. He explained that his party continues to ensure conditions in Soledar, eastern Ukraine. This is to promote the liberation of the region from Ukraine. "Once again I want to ensure the complete liberation and clearing of the Soledar region from units of the Ukrainian army," he said. According to him, civilians will be placed outside Soledar. In the fierce fighting that ensued, Prigozhin mentions that Russian fighters crushed 500 Ukrainian soldiers who refused to surrender.

Russia's Wagner Group has claimed that it has liberated Soledar. Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Russian President Vladimir Putin's mercenary group, has claimed that over 500 soldiers have been killed in a fierce fighting and that his group was cleansing the salt mining town in East Ukraine which has allegedly been strewn with corpses of Ukrainian soldiers. Though Ukraine has rejected Russian claims on Soledar, President Volodymyr Zelensky is yet to respond to the fresh Russian assertions.

In the evening of 12 January, the city of Soledar, that is of great importance for continuing successful offensive operations in Donetsk direction, was liberated.

The establishment of full control of Soledar allows to block the supply routes of Ukrainian forces in the city of Artyomovsk, located to the southwest, as well as to block and to pocket the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) that still remain there.

The capture of Soledar became possible due to constant fire attacks launched at the enemy by Ground-Attack and Army Aviation, Missile Troops and Artillery of the Russian Group of Forces. Concentrated attacks were uninterruptedly launched at AFU positions in the city, impeding the redeployment of reserve forces, ordnance supplies, as well as the enemy's attempts to redeploy to other defensive lines.

Within the liberation of the city, Fighter Aviation of Russian Aerospace Forces had destroyed 3 airplanes and 1 helicopter of Ukrainian Air Force that were tasked to provide aerial fire support to Ukrainian forces.

Moreover, air defence crews of the Russian Group of Forces had shot down nine rocket-propelled projectiles launched by HIMARS and Uragan multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS) at the strongpoints taken by Russian forces near Soledar.

Airborne Troops carried out a covert manoeuvre from other direction, attacked AFU positions on the move, took the dominating heights, and blocked the northern and southern limits of the city.

Russian electronic warfare facilities and forces, concentrated in the abovementioned direction, neutralised hostile control system, and frustrated the operation of Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles.

The set of measures, adopted by the Russian Group of Forces, has led to successful offensive operations of assault detachments in liberating Soledar. Within the last 3 days, more than 700 Ukrainian personnel, and over 300 units of armament of the AFU have been eliminated.
