⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Soledar Direction until 18:00 on 17 Jan 2023⚡️
♦️#Soldar Section:
▪️ Wagner PMC assault units completely liberated the #Sol township yesterday, cutting off supplies between #Bakhmut and #Seversk and opening a bridgehead for access to the #Seversk agglomeration.
▪️ The remaining Ukrainian formations withdrew from the settlement to reserve positions on higher ground. A company of an unidentified AFU unit was moved from #Novoselidovka to the outskirts of #Krasnopolye.
▪️ The Russian offensive is currently continuing towards AFU strongholds in #Blagodatnoye, #Krasnopolye, #Razdolovka, #Veseloye, as well as on #Paraskovievka and Krasnaya Gora north of #Bakhmut.
♦️#Bakhmut:
▪️ Intense fighting is taking place in the urban development on the Patrice Lumumba and Trudovye Reserve streets and Maloye Troitsky lane.
▪️ The AFU sent one of the formations from the #Liman area to hold the garrison under #Bakhmut. In addition, personnel, reinforced with armored vehicles, from #Druzhkovka arrived in Chasov Yar.
▪️ In #Bakhmut, the forces of the AFU's 63rd Mechanized Brigade have been deployed to strengthen the defence on the southern outskirts of the town. However, movement inside the city is hampered by constant fire from Russian troops and a shortage of armoured vehicles.
▪️ At the same time, 150 of the soldiers recently mobilised and transferred to Bakhmut as reinforcement for the 60th Mechanized Brigade of the AFU have refused to fight.
▪️ It is planned to send one of the completed Battalions of the 93rd Mechanized Brigade to the #Soledar direction from 22 January to replace the forces of the AFU's 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade.
▪️ To compensate for losses, the Ukrainian command has increased the rate of mobilisation among the population by issuing summonses without a medical commission and without taking into account the health status of citizens.
♦️#Kleshchiyevka:
▪️ Fighting for control of the village is ongoing. The AFU command has deployed forces of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade (Asov) and a unit of the 226th Kraken Special Forces Battalion to the village. The advance is complicated by the presence of numerous strongholds in houses and difficult terrain.
▪️ Ukrainian artillery is shelling the advance areas of the Russian assault troops with a barrage, and a HIMARS MLRS launcher is stationed in #Druzhkovka, constantly changing its firing position.
