However, on January 10, an intelligence report published
by the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense (MOD) said
that Russia was "likely in control" of most of Soledar.
The mixed reports come
after four days of fierce
fighting in the Donbas city.
This is one of the best defense strongholds
that Ukraine has along all fronts; it was built
up in the course of the 2014 Donbas war. , Mikhail Alexseev, political science professor

Control over Bakhmut gives Russia access
to more rapid mass advances, particularly

Russia's Ministry of Defense has
denied that Soledar has been taken over,
adding that "fighting is ongoing.".
Overall, these operations indicate
that the Kremlin intends to keep
fighting and keep gaining advantages
with the force of numbers, Mikhail Alexseev, political science professor
at San Diego State University, via 'Newsweek'.
This is the kind of strategy that
the Kremlin could see lasting many
months, if not years, whereby it retains
the already occupied territories
and keeps slowly occupying new ones, Mikhail Alexseev, political science professor
