Russian sources shared another video from the town of Soledar which confirms heavy losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in bloody street battles.
According to the reports, the video was made by Russian fighters from the Wagner assault units who are currently storming the streets of Soledar. After Russian forces entered an apartment building, they discovered corps of dead Ukrainian servicemen. Ukrainian soldiers were likely piling up the bodies of their slain comrades but had no time to take them out.
It is also possible that the Ukrainians did not plan to take the corps out and bury the dead soldiers as it was the case in a lot of towns taken under control of the Russian military where the Russians buried their enemies according to Orthodox traditions. LINK
Another fact telling the bodies were a trap for Russian soldiers is that the stairs near them were mined. The trip wire is shown in the video.
Ukrainian forces often leave their wounded and dead comrades on the battlefields. As a result, deaths of hundreds of Ukrainian servicemen are not officially confirmed and they are considered missing. This allows the Kiev regime to hide the real losses.
The town of Soledar is now inflamed by heavy street battles while Russian forces are rapidly advancing in the center. LINK On January 8, fighting was reported on the territory of Artemsol plant located in the central district of the town. Ukrainian forces are defending their positions in the north-western part of the town.
