Butusov admitted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Soledar have problems with controllability
In Soledar, a difficult situation is developing for the Ukrainian formations due to the lack of controllability in most units.
Ukrainian military correspondent and editor-in-chief of the anti-Russian propaganda site Censor.net, Yuriy Butusov, announced this on his Telegram channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
He said that he was writing from Soledar, which is now being stormed by Russian troops.
“The soldiers of the 46th Air Assault Brigade confidently defend the Ukrainian city. The new brigade, created after the start of the war, consists entirely of mobilized fighters, but if the same controllability and the same trust in the team were built in our other units, then there would be no need to talk about any problems in this area,” writes the author .
According to him, the brigade’s combat effectiveness is “at the highest level.”
“The actions of the 46th brigade allow us to stabilize the situation and are an example for our other units. I will inform you about the situation. There were many crises here in the summer, but all these are problems that can be solved now with an adequate assessment of the situation and setting tasks. Controllability is the key problem,” admits Butusov.
The information he released was commented on by military observer Boris Rozhin.
“SBU agent Butusov confirms that the forces of the 46th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been transferred to the northwestern part of Soledar (previously operated in the Berislavsky direction, then transferred to the Zaporozhye direction in the interests of preparing an attack on Tokmak and Pologi, but due to the crisis in the Donbass, abandoned near Soledar and Artemovsk).
The photo shows Butusov in the area of the Artemsol State Enterprise enterprise in the northwestern part of Soledar. Our assault groups were working yesterday at Salt Mine 1-3, located slightly south of the Artemsol State Enterprise,” Rozhin clarified.
As PolitNavigator reported, yesterday war correspondents reported that Russian troops had broken through to the center of Soledar.
However, the founder of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, urged not to rush with victorious reports.
“Judging by the news, the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Soledar have, to put it mildly, an “operational crisis” (close to panic. At least at the grassroots level). But, as Yevgeny Prigozhin asked, let’s keep quiet and wait...”, notes military blogger Yuri Podolyaka in turn.
The advancement of Russian units is also recognized by the 46th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which Butusov mentioned.
"Everything is fine. We are working. Not everything about Bakhmutsky and Soledar is as they say. The Russians have progress, but not as much as their propagandists. There are heavy battles there now,” the Ukrainian brigade said.
