Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The authorities of the Donetsk Republic announced that they have taken full control of the city of Soledar in the Donetsk region of Ukraine.
According to reports, the forces of Wagner's military group are clearing this city.
The city of Soledar is a key area for Russian forces to attack the strategic city of Bakhmut and control it.
On February 24, 2021, Russia started a special military operation in Ukraine, which has continued for months with Western intervention and aid.
Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, recently requested more arms aid from the West, claiming that providing modern air defense systems to Ukraine will force Russia to stop its aggression and bring the country closer to the end of the war.
