General Staff says it is incorrect to assess how much of Soledar under Ukraine’s control now

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine notes that it is incorrect to estimate how much of the embattled city of Soledar in Donetsk Oblast is in the hands of the Defence Forces of Ukraine and how much of it is controlled by Russian troops. Source: Brigadier-General Oleksii Hromov, Deputy Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, during a briefing on 12 January Quote: "As for Soledar: there are fierce battles; it is a bit inappropriate to estimate, in terms of percentage, how much of the city is controlled by us and how much is controlled by the enemy.

Fighting is going on, and it's a fierce fighting. So far, so good."
