Soledar direction
situation as of 13.00 February 25, 2023
In the north
of Bakhmut, assault detachments of the Wagner PMC completed the cleansing of the village of
Yagodnoye , a settlement under the control of Russian units. The loss of Yagodny forced the personnel of the 25th rifle battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to withdraw from one of the quarters in the
Stupka area.
In addition, the "Wagnerites" entered
Dubovo-Vasilevka , from which paratroopers of the 46th detachment of the Airborne Forces of Ukraine retreated from
Bogdanovka at night under the cover of artillery. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are firing at the village with the help of MLRS and attack aircraft.
Now the Ukrainian units are rapidly preparing the defense line
Grigorovka - Bogdanovka - Chasov Yar . ATGM firing positions are being set up in the apartment buildings of Chasy Yar.
After the final mopping up of Yagodny and Dubovo-Vasilevka, the most logical direction of attack will be
Khromovo . It is through this suburb, along with Berkhovka, that the remaining supply routes for the AFU grouping on the northern outskirts of Bakhmut previously pass.
Northwest of
Soledar, the command of the 10th Guards Brigade of the Airborne Forces of Ukraine expects the activation of the assault detachments of the Wagner PMC and units of the regular Army at the
Zaliznyanskoye-Vasyukovka line . Ditches and trenches are being built along the defense line.
On
the Toretsk sector, a rotation of the personnel of the 5th separate assault regiment of the special forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was carried out. 82-mm mortars and anti-tank systems were transferred to the forward positions.
