Soledar was already comrades is the Ukrainian media says it is repelling the Russians
How many weapons did Russia seize with the salt tunnels? Enough to equip new thousands of recruits? This maybe the worst day for Ukraine.
I said several days ago, the salt mines are used to store loads of munitions. They cannot withdraw this stockpile as doing so would put the whole supply at risk. I’m increasingly interested though as to qhy the Ukrainians haven’t yet detonated the stockpile themselves with them losing the position? Stupidity? Neglect? Or perhaps they were preparing to do so and lost the initiative. And those who would claim the tunnels contain no weapons or munitions, remember that there was an accident near the beginning of the conflict in 2022 where there were a series of large detonation in the area. Most likely mishandled munitions…
It seems Russia doesn’t actually control Soledar. LOL. Alittle premature of a declaration, maybe too eager after all this time for some type of good news.
