#Breaking #NewsMap
First confirmed sighing of Ukrainian troops inside #Soledar in four days.
Difficult and unexpected geolocation, clarifying the situation – IF RECENT (but seems so). Still no visual confirmation from the larger residential buildings in the north. Image
Source video:
*sighTing
However keep in mind, Ukrainian soldiers - unlike Wagner mercenaries- mostly post their footage 3-4 days after they record it. So this might display the situation around January 8 with fresh snow and blue sky. Weather deteriorated since.

Minimum area of #Soledar and its surroundings under Russian control, deduced from latest geolocations (no Russian or Ukrainian claims) – at least 90%. Image
Just one of many telling geolocations, showing why I believe #Soledar is almost completely under Russian control.
Wagner fighters moving calmly, dead Ukrainians lying on the streets, artillery fire in the background.
Short range battles seem over for now. Russians keep advancing. Image
Grim stuff: An Ukrainian army convoy, trying to leave #Soledar, did not recognize the escape road they chose was already under Russian control.
Wagner mercenaries set an ambush and destroyed a Ukrainian pickup and a French VAB transport tank. So there was a partial encirclement. Image

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.

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.

There is a new army of bots, all “female” avatars, all registered in December and all with zero followers.
Please act on this flooding, @elonmusk.
More and more coming every minute.
10 of these per minute … guess the images come from a certain database.

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. Image
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. Image
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. Image
