Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] Today, the village of Sacco and Vanzetti northwest of Soledar (named after the Italians who fought for the rights of workers in the United States and were killed on false charges by the American "justice" system) was liberated. Our troops continue to advance on Razdolovka, Nikolaevka and Vasyukov.
To the south-west of Soledar, the fighting goes beyond Krasnaya Gora and Paraskovievka. There is no operational encirclement of the city yet (at least one road to the city is not yet under fire control - on the situation with the roads to Artemovsk, I wrote here.
To the west of Artemovsk, the enemy is preparing new positions that he is going to take after the retreat from the city.
