Ukraine admits retreat from front line town of Soledar
BBC News, near Soledar, Ukraine
"It's quite close. One kilometre," said a tall Ukrainian unit commander named Andriy, peering around the corner of a ruined cottage and towards a dark line of trees to the east. The fighting in and around Soledar has been some of the heaviest of the war, with Russian forces - spearheaded by the mercenaries and convicts of the Kremlin's Wagner group - reportedly suffering heavy losses but finally succeeding in taking control of the small hill-top town, now a wasteland of flattened buildings and rubble.
"It's a controlled situation. I believe in my commander. Sometimes it's really better to take a step back… then after that to make a [counter] attack and crush the enemy. Each day we're destroying enemy positions," said Andriy.
