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?

The US has opened its first permanent military garrison in Poland. It follows last year’s pledge by President Joe Biden to establish a permanent base – America’s first on NATO’s eastern flank – in Poland following Russia’s invasion of neighbouring Ukraine. The new facility, considered the eighth US permanent military base in the European continent, will be located near Poznan, on the banks of the Varta River in western Poland. The garrison at Camp Kościuszko, is named after the 18th-century hero who fought for both Polish and US independence.

Reports have claimed that yesterday Russia used deadly Phosphorus bombs in the fighting near Bakhmut. Several reports claimed that the explosions in the war yesterday had released small, burning balls of white phosphorus that slowly fell to the ground… and those balls set fire to the vegetation on both sides of the road on a surface equivalent to the size of a football pitch. This isn’t the first time that Russia has allegedly used white phosphorous munitions in the war in Ukraine. Earlier in March last year, Ukraine had claimed that Moscow had used white phosphorus against civilians in his country. Then again in May 2022, Russian forces had reportedly used this kind of weaponry in their efforts to capture the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol. In this video, we take a quick look at these lethal Phosphorus bombs. But before that, don’t forget to like, share and subscribe to Oneindia.
