Battles in the east: Fighting continues in Soledar and Bakhmut

Ukraine has refuted Russian claims it has captured the eastern town of Soledar.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says his forces are still fighting in the small salt-mining town, which Moscow wants to secure to help its offensive on nearby Bakhmut.
The head of the Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, had accused Russia’s military establishment of trying to ‘steal victory’ in Soledar.
Zelenskyy has called the Russian infighting “a clear sign of failure for the enemy”.
