“It’s very difficult: There are hardly any intact walls left there,” said Zelenskyj in his video message on Tuesday night, looking at the Ukrainian soldiers in the badly damaged city.
At the same time, he assured: “Even if the occupiers have now concentrated their greatest efforts on Soledar, the result of this heavy and prolonged struggle will be the liberation of our entire Donbass.” The resistance of the Ukrainian soldiers in Soledar buys time for the whole army, Zelenskyj said. “The battle for Donbass continues.”
The Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maljar had recently reported massive Russian attacks on the city. Soledar, along with neighboring Bakhmut, is part of the Ukrainian defensive wall in front of the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk conurbation.
