The exception of Lieutenant General Igor Romanenko told about the situation on the hot area of the Eastern Front and the prospect of his defense in an interview with the Observer. Romanenko explained that from a military point of view, this settlement is of great importance, since there is a road junction that gives the prospect of offensive at the time of Yar, Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.
In addition, according to Western experts, for the founder of Wagner group Yevgeny Prigogine Soledar and Bakhmut are interesting because there are coal, salt and gypsum mines. Therefore, in addition to military-political, there is also economic interest. According to General, the enemy on this section of the front uses the same tactics as in the process of seizure of Severodonetsk and Lisichansk - operational coverage.
Since it does not work to take the city "in the forehead, the invaders try to cover the Armed Forces from the north and south. General Romanenko said that General Alexander Sirsky, commander of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, arrived in the fighting area. "He resolves the issue of transferring to this direction of reserves, weapons, equipment and personnel. Therefore, there is a perspective that we will be able to resist both in the direction of Soledar and Bakhmut," Romanenko said.
The General added that if Ukrainian defenders are able to hold positions in Soledar, the enemy will not be able to implement Bakhmut's plan. We will remind, according to the journalists of The New York Times the Armed Forces of Ukraine changed the strategy of fighting. The material of January 10 stated that previously the command of defense avoided the grueling city battles, but the battle for Bakhmut forced to change this opinion.
