Russia’s defence ministry has said fighting is continuing in Soledar in eastern Ukraine, despite earlier claims by the head of the Russian mercenary group, Wagner, that his forces had taken the town.
The town is seen as strategically significant, as it could be used by Russian forces as a place from which to launch a fresh assault on the city of Bakhmut, which has been the scene of fierce fighting for weeks.
Ukraine’s President Zelensky said the fight is continuing and Kyiv is adamant the Russians are not succeeding in their push to capture the town.
