Russian invasion forces conquered #Sil, the last remaining district of #Soledar.
I can only repeat myself: The current Ukrainian defense strategy in northern Donetsk oblast is not working. Decimating Wagner fighters with artillery does not stop their advance.

Since the fall of Bakhmutske, Ukraine did not manage to build a new line of defense. The army is constantly falling back, losing more than 7 kilometers (30 square km) in two weeks. Ukrainian soldiers need urgent reinforcements to stabilize some kind of front line in the area.
Just for the record.
Not sure when the last cargo train went between Bakhmut and Siversk, but also this connection is cut now (also the nearby road).

Unfortunately, there is no change in battlefield dynamics on the northern Donetsk front.
On a front length of 30 km, Russian invasion forces keep slowly but steadily advancing, by far outnumbering Ukrainian defenders.
Russian aim remains to capture Bakhmut and advance westwards.

There is a very disturbing video, displaying lots of killed Ukrainian troops inside a highrise residential building, which I think - but not 100% certain - can be located here.
Also if it is a nearby building, it absolutely fits into "northern Soledar" where Wagner puts it.

From Butusov's video, you can see very well where the Russian ground troops came from, how they advanced and where they were met with stiff resistance.
I adjusted my map of the East a bit, giving the Ukrainian claims that they still hold one factory and drove out the Russians from the eastern residential areas.
This is disputed by the Russians, but as long as there is no visual evidence, I'll go with the Ukrainian version.

If they were not beaten back since, the Ukrainian army is not revealing the real sitiation from this sector of the front.
The fact that they entered the area from the north, using the plant as cover for their infantry, means, Bakhmutske was still under Ukrainian control yesterday while the situation in Yakovlikva is probably much worse than on my map.
