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”.
Al Jazeera’s @CharlesStratford reports from outside Soledar, in eastern Ukraine.

Stratford’s ‘reports’ are entirely factually misleading and incorrect. Is he not aware Soledar is “firmly in the hands of the Russian Military” as its widely reported, indeed, to be the case. Reliable reports say the Russian Military are now “mopping up in Soledar” and this is entirely correct. The ukraine soldiers which we’re seeing in Stratford’s ‘reporting’ are trying to retreat, they’re running away, they’re fleeing Soledar, promptly trying to get out. Why does Al Jazeera always quote ukraine military mistruths, giving viewers misleading information. Don’t Al Jazeera have any ‘journalists’ on the other side, on the ground, wherein they’ll see for sure Russian Military Forces fighting and taking these areas? If they did they’d be able to see they’re being fed with misinformation by the ukraine military which turns out to be bunkum, utter folly. Russia’s Military had indeed taken Soledar, so please, for the sake of your viewers, kindly report “facts.” Peace must prevail to end the suffering brought to ukraine in 2014 by US Nato, an orchestrated mess, a nightmare gone horribly wrong for ukraine and for its US Nato sponsors of war.✌🏼🇮🇪
May Our Lady of Zarvanytsia protect all Ukrainians from Russian aggression and comfort all who are mourning the loss of loved ones. May Pope Benedict XVI ask the Almighty to help Ukraine to obtain a just peace. (Just peace = Crimea liberated, Russians out of all other Ukrainian territories, Ukrainian children returned from Russia, financial reparations for the carnage, war crime trials for Putin, Lavrov, Shoigu, Surovikin and their minions)
fighting in soledar? Boy Soledar has fallen allready. ypu should update your “news”:-
signoficant..
I’m so proud of Ukrainian troops still holding those bunch rapists n murderers at bay .. there absolute hero’s.. god be with yous 🙏❤
hero’s don’t tie people to poles and beat them with sticks.
1:56 a zu-23 4 Shilka is an effective infantry support weapon in built up areas. Its petrifying.
I would prefer that newer types of weapons fought on the side of Ukraine, but even with what they have, they have been pushing the russians back for almost a year
🇷🇺🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇸
🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸
🇺🇸 hates 🇷🇺
Fake news… Soledar is done!!!
Ukraine soldiers are worthless.
All you had to do was stay neutral and respect Russian Ukrainian s now look at your country. Thank your President Zelensky for that clown move.
Jewlensky is killing ethnic Ukes to make way for a new homeland in case Iran levels Israel
Keep fighting Ukrainian soldiers. Freedom is never free
Ukraine was never free dippy! Get it straight!
Soledar fell days ago. Al Jazeera is nothing but a rag parroting propaganda to curry favor to Washington on behalf of its Qatari owners. 20 years ago it used to be a propaganda outlet for jihadis during the US occupations in the middle east.
Say out loud : RUSSIA IS USING 60 YEARS OLD TANK …
that and TOS. TOS is pretty potent if you watch the videos
@Alex Broughton 😎😎😎
@Madalin Maximilian If Russia wanted I’m sure they could TOS Bakmut into dust but have chosen not to. I’d be surprised if they didn’t have that kind of capability.
👨🦳✌️♥️🇺🇦🔥
To say the truth, the report should be made in the town not out of it. You can not control a town out of it. Otherwise Ukrain controls all the towns they can shell. Let’s be serious. Can Russia says they still control Kharkiv, cause they are a constant threat for the Ukrain soldiers inside?
@Mario Bianchi All I know is Powel, Biden and Putin will continue to make my puts print me $$$$$ this year. That’s all I really care about.
@Alex Broughton since the first wave of assaults Russia has been constantly retreating and the battle for the little Soledar is the first victory for them. They paid an extrmely high price with massive severe losses tho. So high price which is not politically sustainable for putler for much longer. NATO assistance will instead continue to grow following civilian massacres committed by invaders.
@Mario Bianchi First victory? No, I believe that would have been either Kherson or Mariupol. Ukraine has suffered massive casualities and so has Russia. To think otherwise is just copium on both sides. Putin is doing very well politically and I believe the next offensive wave is about to start with Belarus from the North. Ukraine will be lucky to have any working infrastructure a year or even half a year from now.
Nato’s involvement only escalates the situation so that more people die. It just digs a deeper hole for west.
@Mario Bianchi waaaaaaaah
I have news for you Soledar is gone 5 days ago
Urraaaaaaaaa 🇷🇺
For clarification: This is Russian propaganda!
@Tim Bow ha ha ha omg what a d…h..d you are land on planet earth see some real news
@Telling the truth Life as a Russian troll is certainly very hard, right?
@Tim Bow oohh I know your wet dream doesn’t come true yeah
Listen a story d..h..d
27 countries against Russians 100 billion worth of equipment for the ukronazis economic sanctions against Russians and guess what
Russians took 30% of Ukrainian territory a territory bigger than Netherlands 🤣🤣
Go watch some fiction RAMBO MOVIES drink your milk and keep living your wet dream
@Telling the truth Are you even aware that you got the job only because Putin makes very low demands on his propagandists? As always in Russia, quantity goes before quality. But the result is correspondingly meager.
Al Jazeera has been proofing its high morale during this war. Good job 🤝
Why media only show from Ukraine and not show us russian point of view because you hear both sides then u know the meaning of war
Soledar is destroyed. The red army took it days ago. The fight now is west of soledar near the railroads.
Ukrainian medics heroic as always.❤
You are a hero too by sympathizing with Azov terrorists
Senseless war of Putin
Russia Claims they took Soledar. But as we know Russians like to lie. And this is an evidence of that
Bravo Russian soldiers
Bravo Mr putin.
Our saviour 👌
Over 100,000 Russian Orcs slaughtered.
Russia will lose this war ultimately.
🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦
Germany Germany why are you hesitating to give the ukrainians what they want can’t you see they needed and they have to win even Germany is in big trouble
Matthew chapter 24 Bible prophecies fulfilling repent vain is the help of man repent Jesus christ is our soon coming king
Good reporting you are a professional
Such a propaganda report. The report clearly shows the fights are taking place outside of the city. How he can say, Russia didn’t occupy Soledar?
If They don t regret why They diging new trenches far from Soledar. That s Soros New World Order Army !!!VIVA RUSIA !!! Regards from Sevilla
💪🇺🇦🇬🇧😬💪🇷🇺🇧🇾🇰🇵🇨🇳😁
That was refreshing to hear a neutral unbiased view. Compared to CNN and western media who say Ukraine is ready to conquer moscow.
Aljazeera has been Western manipulated news channel since Iraq war .It is Pro Nato ,Pro Islamist Political mix,Pro Jihadi Terrorists sharea and hijab ,Anti Russian and Anti Chinese .The only thing they not fully yet is LGBTO promoting and supporting channel ! Garbage like the rest now
The Western media don’t come close to saying anything like what you mentioned. Russia will ultimately lose this war.
🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦
@Bamford Steele ,Losy Polsey said that in China !
@Bamford Steele Make sure to volunteer and fight for Ukraine! They will need all the help they can get! rofl
Go Russia. The world needs you. Love from Australia
Why does the world need Russia??
Russia will ultimately lose this war.
Respect the independence of Ukraine. Knowing the world’s democratic states, the world is divided into two parts today. Democracy and Dictatorship. The war in Ukraine is the war between democracy and dictatorship. This is the war we must win. I will tell the democratic states to stand by Ukraine with full cooperation. Or Putin’s goon tantra will bring a dark age to the world…
The video is so fake
Soleder belongs to Russia already 😂😂who are they fighting?
No, it’s just Russian propaganda!
I can not imagine how stupid humans are.
A few corrupt politicians send simple men to kill eachother, so that others can be rich.
It is not about Ukraine, people or democracy or whatever… It is just about profit. They fight and die for American interests. When the war is over, no one will ever remember the men who died.
You really mean the Slaughter of Ukraine Troops continues in Bakhmut and what remains in Soledar. One things for sure you cannot Shoot Russian Troops. When they are using Artillery from 12 to 15 Kilometres away and Missiles from farther away. To do the JOB for them. Would imagine Russia’s losses are minimal compared to Ukraine’s. Example Wagner army is 20,000 troops that’s it Fighting in Bakhmut and Soledar. Yet Ukraine say they Russia’s casualties are over 100,000. Do the Maths folks it don’t add up.
GLORY TO UKRAINE 🇺🇦
YOU ROCK THE FREE WORLD 🇺🇦💪
🇺🇸✌️🇺🇦💪🙏🏻❣️
What’s free about transgender agenda the west is pushing BTW they have already been pushed all the way out of Soledar. Screw this the sick western LGBT agenda.
Digging the own graves. Not point to continue this fight
Thought that is news channel is reliable but seems it’s also controlled by western propaganda
Sorry but just having some military on the outskirts of a town means that the actual town was taken.
al jazeera was mesengers of westerner
In Jesus name, please stop this non sense war between Russia and Ukraine! Amen!
An empire lie! Soledar is liberated by Russian forces. Is there another hypothetical Soledar? Hahaha
💯💪
American batpar Israel 🇮🇱 batpar Russian number of one 🌏
The end soledar
Aljazeera news is a lie soledar fallen already no fight going on there.
Full marks to Charles Stratford for his excellent reporting. Thank you!
More like lying! The Ukrainian military convoys are not going to Soledar, rather they’re escaping the defeat they’ve suffered there. Stupid twit brit reporter!
Excuse me, Soledar has been captured by the Russians, and the Ukrainians, who have been crushed are retreating on all fronts and should surrender before psycho criminal zelensky destroys all of Russia. Quit the misinformation!
Bullshit your report is behind time soledar had been liberated 2 days ago
The Russians are notorious past-masters of attrition. It’s their brutal forte. After all, their heavy losses are not cost-free for the Ukrainians. Morass, muddle, quagmire favors the Russians.
“Fighting continue in soledar” yet this video just taking from the countryside not the center of the town whiches mean they are getting pushed back😂
You can’t control a whole town from the “western outskirts” of said town. What a trite bit of copium this video is.
How unpleasing it feels to tell things how they really are…
Aljazeera must be mad reporting this nonsense
Good reporting.
🇰🇿❤️🇷🇺💪💪💪
Stop the war. Stop USA
Even Western narrative broadcasting channels have to tell the truths soon or later when they are faced with it .
Go to Russia
@Jens Albrecht ,This is how coup and Ukraine civil war started in 2014 with Nazies yelling at majority opposition and ethnic Russian Ukrainians ! Anti Nazies going nowhere till Nazies gone
@Rossi B yea I’m with you push the invaders out of Ukraine
@Rossi B Wow Ruzzian propaganda at its best. Then go to Russia, enjoy a free press, democracy and no nazies there. Pathetic.
Stay strong Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇦🇺🇦
honstly its getting lame for the western puppets.
@Not Armchair Historian you’re just Not Historian, dude, without the “Armchair” word in the middle
USA and nato guilty of everything they have 1000 of 1000 power full weapons to finish but they don’t care they only think about usa and nato don’t care about ukraine 2024 Russia will be in Ukraine 1000 of 1000 going to be killed
I don’t think they are troglodytes living under the earth. The territory under adminsitration of the city is not all taken, but that isn’t fight in a city neither : the city is taken. IF that is close, it has to be in Blahodatne … how can we stil trust any “news”…? If you ly, it doesn’t mean collegues of “ennemies” say the trueth, even .
…What is manipulation? What is information?
The catholic neonazi colonialists of Lwow, Burzstyn,;Luck,… need canon-fodder, if possible russian-speaking cosacks… But Polish extreme-rightwingers will not forgive those neonazis that have driven their ancestors out – and murdered the jews- …first as proxies of Hitler, than proxies of Staline. …They will want their country back…
Meanwhile, “we” want the fertile grounds and the very poor woman to have female bellies for man maried to other man… that don’t bother that going to the school , their mom has a beard as Bin Laden…
Strange, evil alliance fighting a “crusader” , orthodox copy of caudillo Franco…
Soledar is taken, not the whole area of the administrative zone, and 200 km of underground-galleries can still hide some surprises… Meanwhile Tchetchens delire on revenge against the americans…and became allies to Russia.
Strange mad alliances fighting, and WE putting oil on the fire…the Ukrainan people suffering, manipulated to exhaust Russia. And, if tomorrow, those Cosacks, as fierce , proud and hardheaded as Tchetchens, – remember Makhno! Or “Taras Bulba”…, would also “turn” against the crooks of the Nato? We abused them, will that remain for free?
They are some more than the Tchetchens….
And, they could allie to Polish, wanting their part of Poland back too…
Madness of EU and USA seems to prepare still a lot more chaos…
All these problem is cause by what is so called NATO expansion.
This war destroyed any trust I had left on main stream media. The lengths they go to portray a Ukrainian victory is appalling. No journalism at all. Pure propaganda, straight from the Ukrainian MoD. The dude is literally outside soledar and all the soldiers evacuated to the skirts. Yet he wants to say the battle isn’t over….
what do they carry scissors for 00:50?
Geez…how many Cannon Fodders does Ukraine have? Or are they using Poland soldiers and other mercenaries?
Nope actually solodar has bin under Russian control for 2 days at least more fake news
The fight is over. No more battles, only media is heroins Ukrainians wherever they can
Shame on the Ukrainians.. you really think you can beat Russia!!!.. your being used by the west..a west that can never defeat Russia….. so you Ukrainian idiot need to wake up
Russia is the most powerful nation , nobody can defeat it.. the Ukrainians are just being used too less the weapons that Russia has
Come on guys. Ukraine lost the war long time ago. We are all basically paying taxes and making politicians rich, while running our countries into inflation and recession.
It takes a morally bankrupt person to support these Russian war criminals and there is one thing in common you will find with every Russian supporter – they have never spent a day in the military themselves, most are obese gamers who never meet the minimum physical requirements for military service even if they had to courage to serve, which they don’t.
There is not much coverage of the war.
Why do you lie?
There are no Azov and bandera terrorists in soledar .
This is 4 some one that Made a very disrespectful Comment, just 2 Remind you Ounce a Marine Always a Marine Am A Cuban American Marine & Very Proud 2 Serve The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MARINE ARMED FORCES The Greatest Country in The World where we live & due 4 FREEDOM♥️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇨🇺🇨🇺♥️🇨🇺🇺🇲🇺🇦♥️🇺🇦♥️🇺🇦 HURRAH, HURRAH UKRAIN🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Fake news
I do not see any tourniquet on any leg or blood. Just more fake staging. Just like Zelenski they are terrible actors
The whole dam war will be over ……….. Ukraine needs to engage in peace talks ……….not this bs they going to push the Russians back to the 2014 lines
Yes we know….the Russian s are running out of bullets
🇷🇺 🇷🇺

Matthew 24:6-7 (KJV) And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 👈🏼👈🏼
All of this with Russia, Ukraine, US, EU has all already been prophesied before. We are in the end times, yeah it’s been said for years now but World War 3 is coming! Watch and pray for when the abomination that makes desolate ( The Pope ) steps into the holy place ( That Third Temple the Jews are trying to build ) then will great tribulation come ushering in the coming of the Lord.
So turn away from the wickedness of this world, the pagan holidays, the sinful ways that are forced on our society and follow God while you still can. Walk in his laws and commandments as written in Exodus 20:1-17, stay steadfast and keep the faith. Peace to everyone reading in Jesus’ name ✨🕊️✨

Бог в помощь Россия !
not a single victory for Russia over the past six months.
Of course, Prigogine will present as a great victory even an advance of one kilometer …
Why not measure success in the number of casualities? Might tell a different story.
Slava ukraini
Russia can hold territory as well as Vladimir Poopin can keep himself from soiling his drawers 💩
Russia is the epicenter of soulless drunken r3t@rds and r@pists in the world. It’s time to stop tolerating Putin’s mass murder of children.
The Russians first ask for a cease-fire, then they bombard Ukrainian cities and go on the offensive. What is this called?
It looks like a pootly acted production. It’s suprising that Ukraine is allowing any journalists into the area. they never have before
I heard that only the Wagnerians take Soledar. Accordingly, their goal is not the liberation of people, but resources, which Prigozhin will then take for himself.
I belive in Ukrains Armed Forces
We also have to improve our military help to stop this terror in a faster way
Don’t belive Russias soldiers, have taken over Soledar have 2 hear from the Horses Mouth, Mr Zelensky, is not as easy as they say Ukrain is well Equiped 2 stop these Mercenarys, After all they don’t care about winning this war they just want 2 be out of Prison & enjoy the free World Again, is not the quantaty of soldiers is the quality, & these Ukranains Soldiers have proven they got good enough reasons & the will 2 hold these bastards back & sent them back where they belong in a cage, SlAVA UKRAIN🇺🇦♥️🇺🇦♥️🇺🇦♥️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇨🇺🇺🇲🇨🇺🇺🇲🇨🇺🇺🇲
Russian army has not could get Bakhmut for 6 months. Any they won’t reach it
Only more and more sanctions against Russia, there is the best possible help for Ukraine, because the world must eradicate all terrorism on the planet
Zelensky:……We will continue to fight until the last Ukrainian soldier standing……that is me. After that I will rescue that last Ukrainian soldier (that is myself) by escaping to the US or the UK before the Ruskies enter the capital city Kyiv.
Go Russia, God speed!
Jews own Al Jazeera??WTF??Arabs, are you allowing this??
