Russian army seizes most of Ukraine town of Soledar

Russia’s Soledar axis is highly likely an effort to envelop Bakhmut from the north, and to disrupt Ukrainian lines of communication. Vladimir Putin’s forces are likely to have seized control of most of a town in eastern Ukraine as they battle for access to 200km long disused salt mine tunnels. They believe that the Russian military and the Wagner group, have succeeded in tactical advances into Soledar in the eastern Donbas region. Is Ukraine starting to lose the war o Russia ?
