Moscow says the capture of Soledar means troops can cut off supply lines to Ukrainian forces in nearby Bakhmut, where heavy fighting continues.
Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford is in Bakhmut with the Ukrainian army.

Has anyone realized elensky is playing with civilian lives and infrastructure by acting as a stubborn kid? Super idiot!
They sound like mercenaries or foreign soldiers
Job is not done if only one side is in video. One side is never full story, full truth, full news. Simple as that.
This kind of media reported 11 months ago that Russia have lost war, out of ammo, supply, low moral, bad tyres, training, Putin died from different cancers more than 20 times and 20 more in Moscow rebelions, coups, economy is broken and whole world is against them…
You must be stupid too much to believe any of this media marketing. Everything is PROVEN false so many times. Stop playing war games, stop tragedy, stop hate, stop supporting killings and war. Only thing people should talk is some sort of agreement and peace. Europe suffer in economy and are in great danger from this war. This is not in European interests, only USA profits from it. Europe have recession and people die. We are close to nuclear radiation both from nuclear war or power plant incidents. If we can spend Ukrainians, is it same for rest of Europe?
HEY ZYLENSKY SURRENDER TO AVOID MORE BLOOD SHED
Artemovsk belongs to people of Artemovsk – it belongs to Donbass not some people in Kiev. Land belongs to people whom live on that land. Currently that land is being liberated.
@Tom K Have you been paying attention? . Soledar WAS a town of 10,000. The few that are left have no cause to be happy. The buildings are flattened. By the time Artemovsk is liberated it will be the same
@fsinjin60 Well, they certainly would rather not have a war – but at least once liberated they are with some friendly people.
@Tom K That may not be the case. Bakhmut had 70K but now has less than 5K. The Russian friendly may return after Ukraine loses BUT to what?
@fsinjin60 There is talk of razing down these smashed up cities. Russia is using Ukrainian tactics – raze to the ground and pretend it never was even there while at the same time build your own next to it. When someone claims “give back” ask, what? The city was build by Russians in Russia.
Artemovsk may survive given its size and population after the war may jump to 10,000 but many other cities are beyond any hope with 100% destruction. These will be fields.
@Tom K Please say where Ukraine EVER used “raze to the ground and pretend it never was even there” tactics. They renamed Bakhmut, they never razed it and rebuilt it.
Meanwhile Russia is well known for this tactic, at Grozny, Chechnya, in Syria, in Afghanistan. Your chauvinism is showing clearly, apparatchik.
Well done Russia, keep moving forward against the terrorists (America).
AJ many thanks to u in spite of having trouble collect true news
Russian nazism 🤬
🇺🇲🤝🇺🇦👍
🇷🇺=💩
Get, em Russia 😎 Glory to the Russian Soldiers and Russian people 🇷🇺🙏❤️🙂
Hope someday europe will turn into a same kind of rubble. European slaves help americans to invade and destroy many countries. Good job russia go ahead destroy europe
It’s like Hitler in his bunker saying Germanys 🇩🇪 wining the war when the Russians are in Berlin.
Regarding the policy of “democratic” countries regarding the defense of “democratic” Ukraine from a terrorist junta, a quote from the “Era of Mercy” is very suitable.
“If there is a devil on earth, then this is not a goat-legged stag, but a three-headed dragon(USA), and these heads are cowardice, greed and betrayal. If one bites a person, then the rest will eat him to the ground.”
Gloire ha l’Ukraine 💛💛💙💙
So bakhmut will fall too…great keep it up Putin…
Why do ppl think Asians and even many in the north and south americas support Putin…
Anns.
Cos Biden supports zelensky..
Once Putin is dead, we’re going to tax Russia for 100s of billions of dollars in exchange for rejoining the international community——-they will pay damages to every Ukrainian who had property destroyed, and they will rebuild all the infrastructure that was busted up.
idiot!
That soldier just said what our media has been hiding away from us….”we have less guys and unfortunately we also lost a lot of guys at this moment”….
all we see on mainstream media is Zelensky speeches of them beating Russia. But somehow Russia is gaining ground.
You’re a liar.
My aunt from Brooklyn translated, that soldier said about moving in small groups.
Stop lying under all the videos, you are a troll
@Milo Bradtke So why can’t we think your aunt from Brooklyn is a liar? Lol 😆 🤣
@Vinus739 The turning point in the war began when we started supporting Ukraine with new weapons. Russian soldiers don’t even have time to get to the front, there are no ways to supply weapons. Thanks to this, we managed to liberate Kherson and other towns and villages, and we must continue to help.
@Roberto Schmitt Kherson wasn’t really “liberated” more like the Russians realized that supplying over a huge river was in fact, a bad idea and decided that holding on that territory was useless and it was just easier to defend across the bank of the Dnipro River, especially since there was no longer a need for attacking Kriyv Rog and Mykolaiv.
There’s simply no turning point in this conflict, at least yet. Yes, Ukraine did manage to gain a lot of ground from positions the Russians didn’t have any real units defending, but all in all, the results of the offensive didn’t do much and has just seen some deadlock as the Russians simply took defensive positions. Russia can wage a prolonged war, even with western support towards Ukraine, Russia can keep going sadly. You also forget that Russia has friends helping them (even if it’s partial) just like the western nations still paying for their oil and gas. Russia has a war industry, one that hasn’t been effected much unlike Ukraine’s war industry. Russia can keep their troops supplied, even this video does confirm that given that the Russians are moving 600 troops into a new position just like that.
Al Jazeera used to be a channel that was neutral and told the truth until…..
Yeah because there winning
You heard them, Ukranians have lost a lot of forces. Zelensky is frying them in hyperbaric missiles for NATO.
Go Russia go 🇷🇺🇷🇺💪🇷🇺💪🇷🇺💪💪
💪💪🇷🇺🇷🇺❤️forza Russia 🇦🇺 no more money to corrupt Ukraine
Glorious Ukraine will win. Russia will be finished and damned, and its war criminals prosecuted.
Having problem breaking the pinata and cannot get anything at all.
WE all know US-NATO was suppling and training Ukraines forces – Like Canadiens and American -in Poland and Germany – its started after CIA sponsored coup, regime change in Ukraines 2014.
Russian, US-NATO Europe can NOT be trusted again !! Their agenda of breaking up Russia into bits at all cost -will remain behind closed doors !!
NATO expansionist days are OVER – RUSSIA should finish off the Ukrainian armed forces – grind these agents of US-NATO into dust. Russian MUST push out – Celanese Ukrainian Bandera -Azov Nazis east of river Dnieper and out of Odessa regions-black sea regions.
Cleanse these areas out now. US-NATO will prepare these rats for low intensity – terrorist conflict.
Take the pain now and save people east of River Dnieper and Odessa regions.
As for Finland and Sweden- in NATO-will have to deploy US-NATO bases on the border of Russia and minutes away for missile attacks on St Petersburg, Russia city of 6 million.
These Finns have become a major threat to Russia national survival – US-NATO is real and will become expansional threat over time…
Take on and neutralize Finland and Sweden asap -Even if it means a direct conflict with NATO – its pain now or bigger pain later ?
Ukraine keep fighting, the Challenger Tanks are on the way but stop asking for more weapons publicly. Pretend Ukraine is winning and it will happen.
Is is possible to fly in the tanks to the frontline so as to save that town from falling?
Go russia
For long you have been reporting what you are told by the enforcers of the Western narrative.
Russia just lost 20,000 troops taking a town of 10,000 🤣
obviously you have no understanding of the strategic importance of Soledar, its not about the population its about the location as a staging reinforcement area for supply lines
Ulla👍Ulla
Wow the House with the pictures of a “Family” it burns my heart to see that
The city has fallen
Which city? Bakhmut or Kreminna?
God is good every day Putin, God will punish you according to what you have done to Ukrainian civilians
We’re paratroopers, Lieutenant, we’re supposed to be surrounded. – Winters, WWII
Russia traditional men have been threatened and challenged! Just like ww1, ww2,ww3 Russians are about to show up in bahkmut
Goodbye Nazis 👏
Russian trolls for days in the comments. Be careful on your way down 😂
there’s just as many American Bootlickers in here as well
1:42 even the birds are crying and escaping from guns and artillery shells 😢😢😢
💪💪💪 Ucrania
I always worry that all these videos are reveling Ukrainian positions 😢
God bless Russia, this is the real situation what this channel saying!
God plays no part in the war for either side, he doesn’t care or support one side or the other about out petty squabbles over land
You were doing so well until you put Michael on then your propaganda kicked in we all know the truth stop tall lies
There are no Russian forces in bakhmut or soledar. Russia put the wagner group in bakhmut not to take it quick but to destroy the ukrainian army as the wagner owner called it a meat grinder. Literally a massacre of the ukrainian soldiers for months by foreign mercenaries and criminals/prisoners fighters
Ukraine should have chosen peace over this war. Only God knows how much debt they’ve incurred.
This fight is against tyranny. If you decide to live in tyranny, your decision. Other people have a spine to fight for their future.
@S K is it worth it now ?
We must understand that these weapons are used only to defend Ukraine. It is pointless to negotiate with Russia, it is impossible without weapons.
And how many human lives they’ve lost
🇺🇦🗽✌️💙💛👨👩👧👦
Khazaria is just a global distraction to one’s peripheral view.
God bless Russia in their fight against Biden 🇷🇺 🇺🇸
Forza Ukraina🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Mr Zelensky can win as a TV comedian but a president of Ukraine. he constantly fools the people of his country of victory against Russian federation. War victory means a peace for its citizens and nothing else.
Gradually surrounding Bakhmudt? …total B.S.!
Russia has been trying to take the city for SEVERAL MONTHS and gotten nowhere.
This makes it hard to trust anything else in the story.
Please soilders do not let zelensky hear you say that Ukraine lost a lot of soilders are you are goin to be lost as well
Gosh! This is like an apocalypse!
It’s Brutal!
No doubt Putin will loose brutally war.
ummm
nice location reveal
I thought Russia was running out of ammos and Ukraine 🤣🤣
If the west and NATO are providing military intelligence then it means that the third world war has began
Kyiv government is not admitting to the loss of soldiers but atleast Sergey (the special forces) has admitted that they have lost lots of guys. In terms of percentages, Ukraine has suffered a lot of loss.
RUSSIA FIGHT AGAINST NOT WITH UKRAINE BUT WITH WHOLE WEST.
THANK YOU 💐
Russia fights against everyone in Ukraine, Ukraine fights with Russians that can’t get out of conscription.
If Russia was fighting with the whole west, Bakhmut would be a nit.
The Ukrainian Leaders must return to the Peace negotiation table, to save the innocent Ukrainian civilians (& military men) from unnecessary sufferings!
Zelensky must realise that he was deceived by the USA, UK, EU and NATO.
Zelenskyy was never deceived by anyone except Putin. And that wasn’t successful anyway.
Feb 23, “we aren’t going to invade”.
Feb 24, “special operations not invasion”.
Jan 7, “Xmas truce” (what happened to Dec 25th)
now that Russian ORC’s have taken the city of Soledar they now have a staging point to reinforce and continue the fight for Bakhmut, perhaps the Klingon bootlicker tanks and aircraft may support the battle for Bakhmut, this war is far from over
U$A, NATO & 🇬🇧 bombed Afghanistan for two decades, completely destroyed Iraq, made Syria a failed state, annihilated Libya, started civil war in Yemen, … and they preach human rights 🤮🤮🤮
🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺
Reporting only from Ukrainian and western view
Zalenski is not a Ukrainian he is a comedian president who destroyed whole ukrain and helping west against Russia. Russia and Ukrainian are same people with same language and culture
Kievan Rus became a separate people with a separate language when the Muscovite Rus retreated to Novgorod and let the Golden Horde wipe out Kiev pushing the Ukrainians into Polish-Lithuanian exile. They don’t have the same culture because the Russians have the stab-them-in-the-back that has made them successful in subjugating 130 cultures. Remember Ukrainians are called NaZis in Russia because they are antiRussian not because they are antiSemitic, antiSlav or antiIslamic.
gradually RU meat grinder grinds the nato-nazis
It is very important that the Ukrainians show their frontline positions there is nothing from the Russians they have a lot to hide
Why you don’t get videos from Russian side
I know this place.. this is Russian land 😉 We love you Russia 🇷🇺 🫂🫂🫂🫂
Z-💩💩
@S K prepare your self for surrender 😉. RUSSIA 🇷🇺 🪆 🇷🇺
@FLORIN RADU Haha, du geistiger Tiefflieger Z-💩💩
Poor Vlach thinking Russia has ever been your friend.
00:53 have less guys and unfortunately we also lost a lot of guys at this moment
Thank you for bringing this to us. This is good solid reporting.
It is interesting that Al Jazeera is embedded on the Ukrainian side, not the Russian.
Smart way Respect 🙏 your Powerful Neighbour 👏
The turning point in the war began when we started supporting Ukraine with new weapons. Russian soldiers don’t even have time to get to the front, there are no ways to supply weapons. Thanks to this, we managed to liberate Kherson and other towns and villages, and we must continue to help.
🇺🇲🇺🇲♥️♥️🇷🇺🇷🇺
Simply sad …too much wasted and destroyed for nothing …life is too short to even shorten it more…
Where are those hirmas and juveline .now..🤣🤣🤣
It looks like Europeans didn’t learn from the 2 world wars ! Madness!
Napoleón couldnt defeat Russians
Hitler couldnt defeat Russians
Who do you think you are,burger eaters ?
🌯Tell me about disinformation USA state propaganda. Why a great number of weapons are flowing into Ukraine every week for the past 12 month from every country that hates Russia that hates India that hates China that hates any other developing country? Is Ukraine a weapon’s warehouse? And if NATO is winning the war in Ukraine by killing so many Russians, tell me why that map still red? And if dead duck Ukraine have an army, why Joe Biden, British King Charles and the European Union are spending billions of dollars in mercenary salaries which we all identified as trained NATO troops, please explain that to us, because we know you are a misinformation channel🫕
You know what the sad part is I feel sorry for those crows on those trees, as for humans , they’ve made a mess of this planet
If Zelensky boys continue to hide in residential & school bunkers, rest assure they will be fired upon.
USA just dropped a nuke on Japanese. They didn’t care about civilians. So maybe Russia should follow
SALT IS THE NEW GOLD
The battle over Solidar may not be simply about territory. It’s about salt. Salt prices are around $1 per kilogram in the global market. This is set to increase to $30 per Kilogram in the next 5 years. This is because salt will replace Lithium in batteries used in Electric Cars. This makes the land in Solidar very valuable. After the war whoever controls Solidar will be able to exploit the salt for commercial. The Wagner group realises this and has sacrificed huge amount of human and financial resources to take control of it and I’m sure Russia will give this land to Wagner after the war. The earning potential for salt exports in the manufacturing of batteries will make those owning this land very, very rich
Ukraine defense line is collapsing
Stop war and sit down, talk and solve the issue.. Ukrainian president shouldn’t blindly follow US and others to fight against Russia.
Zelenskyy does only in Ukrainian interests. You can ask any Ukrainian. Does he/she want to go on the negotiations now ? The answer will be no
With the help of the West and many other countries, Ukraine has many chances to win, but this is not enough. We must continue to increase military aid to Ukraine
@Roberto Schmitt Only modern weapons will help Ukraine bring peace to the country and the world, and destroy a huge enemy!
HIMARS totally changed the course of war. Ukraine deserves on modern weapons
@Roberto Schmitt yes! Exactly. Why our country stopped giving Ukraine new weapons. If we can help, why we do not do it
@Audra Klein sadly that not every country does not have the same meanings. Someone stops the military help to Ukraine for sure
@Audra Klein Russia is a cancer for all the world. Putin is a seconded Hitler. He has to be stopped
Russia is a big country with large stockpiles of weapons, but the world has more of them, and we must give Ukraine everything it needs to win.
Only if we continue to supply weapons can we stop this war. Only by uniting can Europe defeat a common enemy. The sooner we can see a peaceful Ukraine. And the world will be better off.
Absolutely true. Putin is a dictator who has to be stopped. Ukrainian soldiers are dying day by day for freedom to all the world
@Dino Ziemann I also think that we have to support Ukraine in a huge way because it was for freedom not only for Ukraine but for us too
see how Russia is mad about the supply of modern weapons to Ukraine
We are doing everything right!
Let’s support Ukraine!
I support Ukraine
Ukraine will get the victory in this year. I’m sure in it. Glory to Ukraine !
@Valery Ferry 🤣😂😂
Well, here’s another reason to speed up the supply of weapons to Ukraine, especially artillery and armored vehicles
I hope that countries will cooperate and improve military help to Ukraine
-Paulus army near Stalingrad- , Prigozhin’s gang near Bakhmut
The bet on mercenaries is a complete rejection of democracy. Putin decided to seize Ukraine at any cost.
We need more support for Ukraine to stop the Putin regime
@Marta I also think so. Today is the best time to stop Putin’s terror
We see the result of our help. When we gave Ukraine the new weapons, they could strike over the Russian logistics.
We must continue to support Ukraine with weapons to prevent Russia from invading Europe.
The sooner we supply arms, the sooner Ukraine will win.
America and NATO unleashed a civil war in Ukraine 2014-22, sponsoring a coup d’etat, later supplying weapons there, and deceiving the whole world with the Minsk agreements. get out of Russian lands!
America and NATO, these are the Nazis in power, these are the children of those who were not killed in 1945! Get out of Ukraine. Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, one people. America unleashes wars, earning.
*DIPLOMACY* not Weaponry!!
