Approximate situation in #Soledar, according to latest geolocaged footage.
Russian invasion forces entered the center from the East and the North and now hold approximately 80% of the city areal (appr. 20% of the urban center).
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.
Corrected geolocation and cross-checked with Ukrainian footage. It's some hundred meters to the north.
Another thing - and you will hate me again.
The Wagner video with all the dead Ukrainians that was published this afternoon shows it snowy and freezing outside.
The Ukrainian video from the same spot, published this morning, shows no snow.
Compare this with the weather in Soledar

Situation in Soledar is terrible.
Russians captured more than half of the town and are encircling what is left at the same time.
Ukraine needs a massive counteroffensive here or it’s lost, which would likely result in a domino effect and more areas lost soon.
To all you idiots, claiming this is because Ukraine rejected the “36 hour ceasefire”. Total bullshit. Wagner mercenaries ignored whatever liar Putin said and kept advancing during that time. It is rather them who rejected it and kept attacking Ukrainian defense positions.
And to all you idiots, claiming I posted the news “just for the clicks” and am “defeatist” again and bla bla blub.
Screw you! Just unfollow, move on, ignoring me forever. I neither need your company nor views nor clicks.
Latest videos from Bakhmut do not correspond with some optimistic mappers' work over the past days.
Urban fighting continues, Russians are closing in on the city from the East and South.
And again: If you have videos, proving the Ukrainian army pushed Russians back in the East of South, please forward them to me, and I'll check and geolocate.
Drone footage from destroyed eastern Bakhmut. Russians used crazy firepower to knock down six-story buildings.
Unfortunately, no soldiers or vehicles are visible nearby, so it is unclear who controls the area now. "supernova_plus" is not the original source.

Russian invasion forces captured the entire industrial part of #Bakhmut and advanced into the eastern residential areas.
They also captured 80% of Opytne, south of the city.
Ukrainian forces attempt to counterattack and regain at least the residential areas in the E & S.
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.
Interessante Email, in der Christian Drosten die Laborthese zum Coronavirus bereits am 9. Februar 2020 als „Verschwörungstheorie“ verwirft UND seine Kollegen auffordert, diese Theorie „anzufechten & wenn möglich zu verwerfen“.
So viel zum Thema wissenschaftliche Herangehensweise.
Weil die Drosten Ultras sofort wieder in die Bresche springen … auf diese E-Mail hat Drosten geantwortet. Die Frage des Kollegen war, ob die Wissenschaftler einen offenen und ausbalancierten Artikel zur Covid-Herkunft schreiben sollen. Drosten war ganz offensichtlich not amused.
Ich habe echt keinen Bock auf eure Korinthenkackerei. Drosten fragt: „Kamen wir nicht zusammen, um eine bestimmte Theorie anzufechten und, falls wir können, zu verwerfen?“
Er fragt das, weil die anderen das offensichtlich nicht so sehen. Meine Lesart ist daher durchaus zulässig.
