17:49 Fixation of consequences of the artillery attack of Ilovaisk on January 28, 2023.

17:44 "The village has been completely cleared" - appeared personnel from the liberated village of Blagodatnoye near Soledar.

The first reports of the taking of the village under the control of attack aircraft of PMC "Wagner" appeared yesterday. Today, a video confirmation is also published, filmed by the Wagner operators themselves, despite the fact that the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied the loss of the settlement since morning.

The village is located between Soledar and Artemovsk, there were stubborn battles for it. The next points on the way to Artemovsk after the fertile one are the strategically important Paraskovievka and Krasnaya Gora, which are also already being stormed by PMC fighters.

17:34 Soledarsky section situation as of 17.00 January 29, 2023

In the Soledar sector, the assault detachments of the Wagner PMC liberated the village of Blagodatnoye to the west of Soledar, thereby establishing full control over the settlements adjacent to the city. In addition, the liberation of Blagodatny opens up the prospect of increasing further pressure on the northeastern suburbs of Bakhmut - Krasnaya Gora and Paraskovievka, where fierce fighting has now unfolded.

Russian units are currently advancing from the northern outskirts of Krasnaya Gora and from the Bakhmutka River in the southeast of Paraskovievka. Ukrainian formations are moving significant reserves to hold two important settlements.

Also, control over Blagodatny will allow to increase the pace of advance on the Vasyukovka-Razdolovka-Veseloye line both from Soledar and from the Yakovlevka-Berestovoe-Belogorovka line.

Progress in this direction is more promising, unlike the assault on equipped strongholds on the hills west of Blagodatnoye - the Ukrainian Armed Forces dug trenches and prepared positions for defense.

The attack on Razdolovka and Vasyukovka will make it possible to get closer to the Seversk agglomeration and bypass the members of the Ukrainian formations who have dug in on the dominant heights from the north, without resorting to a frontal attack.
