Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday his country is in dire need of more modern arms supplies from the West as Russia mobilizes its forces for further escalation.
“The world has everything necessary to stop the Russian attack…” he added in a video message.
The statements came after pro-Moscow forces in Donetsk said Tuesday that Russian forces had taken control of the center of the city of Solidar in eastern Ukraine and pushed Ukrainian forces into rear areas west of the city. .
Wagner’s troops took control of the southern outskirts of Solidar beyond the Krasnaya Gora region.
This happens when fighting is still going on between the “Wagnerites” and the Ukrainian army, to the west of the city.
Also, Russian forces surrounded the Ukrainian fighters in the boilers of the city from the western side. While their number is unknown, according to the correspondent of Al-Arabiya / Al-Hadath.
Significantly, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said his forces are withstanding new and more vicious strikes against Solidar near Bakhmut in the country’s east, which Moscow has been trying to control for months.
Zelenskiy made it clear in his daily speech that these attacks are the most brutal since the beginning of the Russian campaign against these territories.
Solidar is located in the Donetsk region, about 15 kilometers from the town of Bakhmut, which had a population of 70,000 before the war and is now the center of hostilities.
