After months of intense fighting, Russia says it’s captured the eastern Ukrainian town, of Soledar.
The area’s been pounded for weeks by Russian fire. It’s seen some of the most intense battles of the war.
Ukraine denies Russia has full control, saying it’s forces continue to resist.
It’s the first town in Ukraine that Russia has claimed to have captured since July 2022. It’s seen months of military setbacks.
The next target of the Russian offensive could be nearby Bakhmut, in preparation for an assault, on the key city of Kramatorsk.
