Deputy Minister of Defence Hanna Maliar urged the public not to spread unverified information about the situation in Soledar, stating that fighting is ongoing and only authorized representatives should publish combat details.

Hanna Maliar stated that fighting in Soledar is ongoing and warned against disclosing unsanctioned information about troop movements or locations.

Russia’s army has no intention of abandoning its plans to seize the entirety of Donetsk Oblast, adding that Russian forces have undertaken offensive operations towards Bakhmut and Avdiivka.

Sources indicated that one company involved in illicit schemes is co-owned by a Russian citizen based in occupied Donetsk.

This represents a resurgence of potential scams involving the 'grey zone' of Donbas, which had been active during 2015-2016.

Fierce battles continue for Soledar, with Ukrainian soldiers repelling continuous enemy attacks day and night.

The enemy is suffering heavy losses but continues to carry out criminal orders of his command.
