Pamoja na kutumia vibaka wa Wagner ambao humo kuna wafungwa wa kila aina, na makombora na zana aina nyingi, kamji ka Solendar kamekua kama mfupa uliomshinda fisi, Warusi wameuawa kama senene (100 kwa siku) ila bado wanapambana kuteka hako kamji, hii aibu sana.
Ikikumbukwa hawa hawa Warusi walithubutu kuparamia Kyev pale mwanzoni na limsafara lao lile ambalo lilifyekwa lote.

An infantry carrier moves quickly across a devastated landscape, traversing a flat expanse dotted with lines of shattered buildings, some reduced to rubble by artillery fire. At one point a plume of smoke is visible, drifting against the backdrop of a huge open mine works.
The drone footage shows the carrier, marked with a red cross, halt beside a building missing part of its roof and many of its windows. A Ukrainian medic darts out and peers briefly around the corner of the building as a casualty is brought out on a stretcher. Loaded quickly, the carrier heads away at high speed, coming under Russian artillery fire as it tries to leave the town.
Pictured in the footage are the ruins of the small Donbas saltmining town of Soledar, and a fleeting scene from a battle where life, death and injury has been measured in the past week in such near and not-so-near misses.
On Friday, as Russia’s defence ministry said its forces had taken full control of the saltmining town, western analysts suggested that, if true, it would be at best a pyrrhic victory, gained at high cost to fighters from the Wagner mercenary group of Yevgeny Prigozhin, who claimed the town had fallen on Wednesday.
Ukrainian officials denied the Russian claim, suggesting they were still holding on and counterattacking, with the Ukrainian military spokesperson Serhii Cherevatyi reporting “ongoing battles”. Before and after photos give a sense of the destruction:

‘Hellish’ battle for Soledar symbolises state of Russia’s war in Ukraine
Fall of saltmining town would be propaganda coup for Kremlin but analysts say scale of casualties make it a pyrrhic victory
