Battle in Bakhmut, Soledar continues as Ukraine denies Russian control |Oneindia News*Explainer

The epicentre of the war between Russia and Ukraine has now shifted to Bakhmut and Soledar in eastern Ukraine.

Intense fighting has been taking place in a battle of Domination and holding out in these region.

The Wagner group of mercenaries are the main combatants from the Russian side in this theatre of the war…which has now shifted from Southern Ukraine to eastern Ukraine.

Around 24 hours back, head of the Wagner mercenary group claimed that his forces had completed the takeover of the Ukrainian town of Soledar… which if confirmed… would mark Moscow’s first major battlefield success since last summer.

But the Ukrainians are disputing this claim.

They say their soldiers have been able to hold strong…and these cities have not fallen yet.

They have rejected the Wagner group’s declaration that Bakhmut and Soledar are now firmly in Russian grips.

But why is the Wagner group…and Russia so adamant and obsessive about these cities?

Why are these two cities being deemed so crucial that they are being referred as spanners in Vladimir Putin’s plan.

But before that, don’t forget to like, share and subscribe to Oneindia.

Zelensky’s Most Controversial Outfit Yet? Wears Black Vyshyvanka Outfit Ditching Suit | WATCH [Video]

Zelensky’s Most Controversial Outfit Yet? Wears Black Vyshyvanka Outfit Ditching Suit | WATCH

On Ukraine’s 2025 Independence Day, President Volodymyr Zelensky made a bold fashion statement that went beyond clothing—it was pure symbolism. Just six days after wearing a formal black suit at the White House under reported pressure from Donald Trump’s team, Zelensky returned home and ditched the Western formality for a striking black vyshyvanka, Ukraine’s traditional embroidered shirt. The black fabric carried deep meaning: mourning the thousands lost in war while showcasing resilience and national pride. For Ukrainians, the vyshyvanka is more than an outfit—it’s a symbol of cultural survival. Zelensky’s decision to abandon suits “too” for his own nation’s day underscored his defiance of external expectations and his loyalty to Ukrainian traditions. It was not just attire, but wartime messaging: Ukraine’s spirit cannot be tailored to foreign demands. #Zelensky #UkraineIndependenceDay #Vyshyvanka #UkraineWar #UkraineRussia #Trump #WhiteHouse #Kyiv #UkraineCulture #UkraineNews #WarSymbolism #UkraineTradition #UkraineResilience #ZelenskyStyle #UkraineHeritage #UkraineConflict #UkrainePresident #UkrainePride #UkraineSolidarity #UkraineFashion ~HT.410~GR.124~

EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen has escalated tensions with Moscow, calling President Vladimir Putin a “predator” while urging European nations to boost their militaries against the Russian threat. Speaking in Riga during her Europe tour, von der Leyen blamed Russia for hybrid attacks, cyber operations, and weaponizing migrants. Her remarks follow Putin’s warning against Western sanctions and his show of unity with China.

Ukraine War LATEST: Trump Backs Chinese Peacekeepers In Ukraine | Is Trump Hiding Pro-Russia Agenda? [Video]

Ukraine War LATEST: Trump Backs Chinese Peacekeepers In Ukraine | Is Trump Hiding Pro-Russia Agenda?

US President Donald Trump has reportedly floated the idea of deploying Chinese peacekeepers to Ukraine as part of a potential ceasefire deal with Russia, according to the Financial Times. Sources claim Trump suggested Chinese troops could patrol a neutral zone along the 1,300km frontline between Russian and Ukrainian forces. The proposal, allegedly made during a White House meeting with European leaders and President Volodymyr Zelensky, has triggered controversy and resistance from EU nations. Zelensky himself has rejected the idea in the past, citing Beijing’s failure to prevent earlier conflicts. While a senior Trump official dismissed the FT report as “false,” the very suggestion of Chinese boots on Ukrainian soil is sparking global debate. Beijing has so far denied any willingness to join such missions, insisting on neutrality. Moscow, however, has signaled it would only accept peace guarantees backed by UN Security Council powers, including China. #Trump #China #Ukraine #Russia #Peacekeepers #BreakingNews #Zelensky #Moscow #Beijing #UkraineWar #Ceasefire #TrumpProposal #EU #NATO #UkraineCrisis #UN #GlobalPolitics #PeacePlan #UkraineConflict #Geopolitics ~ED.103~HT.408~GR.124~

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that Russia is amassing up to 100,000 troops near the eastern stronghold of Pokrovsk, signaling preparations for a major offensive. While Ukrainian forces push back in the Sumy region, Zelensky is pressing NATO allies to accelerate U.S.-made weapons deliveries and provide stronger long-term guarantees. Outlining three security pillars—sustaining Ukraine’s military, NATO-style commitments, and sanctions on Russia—Zelensky stressed that Ukraine’s future stability also depends on EU membership. Moscow, however, rejected the plan, warning foreign peacekeepers would be seen as intervention. #Zelensky #Putin #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #NATO #EasternFront #Pokrovsk #UkraineNews #RussiaMoves #MilitaryBuildUp #WarUpdate #UkraineStrong #DefendUkraine #PutinVsZelensky #SecurityGuarantees #GlobalConflict #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #EasternEurope #UkraineDefense #WeaponsSupply #NATOAllies #Kyiv #UkraineFrontline #Lavrov #RussiaWarning #EUIntegration #FrozenAssets #UkraineVictory #StandWithUkraine Also Read Jaishankar Meets Putin in Moscow Amid Global Power Shifts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/external-affairs-minister-s-jaishankar-holds-meeting-with-russian-president-putin-in-moscow-011-7836759.html?ref=DMDesc Amid Trump Tariffs, Jaishankar Urges Stronger India-Russia Trade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/amid-trump-tariffs-jaishankar-urges-stronger-india-russia-trade-011-7836083.html?ref=DMDesc Trump To Arrange Face-To-Face Meeting Between Putin And Ukraine's Zelenskyy :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-to-arrange-face-to-face-meeting-between-putin-and-ukraines-zelenskyy-7833925.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~PR.152~
