The Blagodatnoye settlement near Soledar in the DPR has come under control of Russia’s forces, Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner private military company, said on Sunday.
"The units of the Wagner PMC took Blagodatnoye. Blagodatnoye is under our control," his press service quoted him as saying on its Telegram channel. The commentary is accompanied by an audio recording of remarks by a commander of an assault unit that reached the southern outskirts of Blagodatnoye.
On January 12, Soledar was cleared of Ukrainian formations, the Russian Defense Ministry reported earlier. According to Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, full control over this city makes it possible to cut off the supply routes for Ukrainian troops in Artyomovsk and subsequently block and encircle the units holed up there.
The village of Blagodatnoye is located southwest of the city of Soledar, which was liberated from Ukrainian forces on January 12.
The territory of the DPR can be completely liberated from Ukrainian militants in a month and a half. This was stated by the commander of the special forces “Akhmat” Apty Alaudinov. According to him, the human resource of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not unlimited. The Ukrainian army begins to withdraw.
Prigozhin, who had repeatedly reproached military correspondents for hasty reports about the capture of one or another settlement, confirmed the capture of Blagodatny near Soledar. According to the information posted on the Wagner PMC TG channel, assault groups are actively cleaning the village from Ukrainian militants remaining there. In addition, Prigozhin posted on the channel an audio recording of the commander of the assault unit, who reported on control over the village.
ing it simply fled, unable to withstand the pressure of the advancing "musicians". The front line reported that about two tank platoons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine refused to defend the settlement and left in the direction of the Ukrainian rear.
The capture of Blagodatny jeopardizes the encirclement of the village of Krasnoe Gora near Paraskovievka, this is practically the outskirts of Artemovsk (Bakhmut). Now fierce battles are going on in this direction, the "orchestras" are trying to knock out the Vushniks from these settlements and practically encircle the city. The fall of Krasnaya Gora will significantly worsen the situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison.
Meanwhile, the attack aircraft of the "musicians" are advancing in the other direction, the night before they came close to the village of Sacco and Vanzetti.
