The epicentre of the war between Russia and Ukraine has now shifted to Bakhmut and Soledar in eastern Ukraine. Intense fighting has been taking place in a battle of dominationand holding out in these region.

Around 24 hours back, head of the Wagner mercenary group claimed that his forces had completed the takeover of the Ukrainian town of Soledar… which if confirmed… would mark Moscow’s first major battlefield success since last summer.

Why are these two cities being deemed so crucial that they are being referred as spanners in Vladimir Putin’s plan. But before that, don’t forget to like, share and subscribe to Oneindia.
