"Political Better": The seizure of Soledar will be an "empty victory" for Russia - an expert

According to analysts, the hypothetical seizure of Soledar or even Bakhmut will change nothing at the joint theater of war. If the Russian Federation is able to capture Soledar, its situation in the war will not change. The capture of a small city is more political. This was stated by Professor and Head of the Department of Political Science in the North-West University of USA William Renault Newsweek.

According to him, an attempt to capture Soledar is part of a great battle for Bakhmut, which Russian invaders have been storming for several months. "The capture of Russia by any of them (Bakhmut or Soledar, ed. ) Can align the front line, but will not be a significant strategic victory and will not improve long-term prospects," the expert said. However, according to him, both Ukraine and Russia consider the Bakhmut battle important because of its political importance.

Renault believes that Moscow will try to justify themselves that it allegedly protects the people of the so -called DNR, and Kyiv gives Bakhmut the same meaning as at the beginning of Mariupol's war. But former US Army Intelligence Colonel Dan Soller told reporters that the tactical benefit for the Russian Federation from the capture of Soledar would be limited. He also believes that it is only an attempt to capture a larger Bakhmut by blocking one of the supply lines.

The history of Catholic University of America, Michael Kimmege, who is even a hypothetical admiration for Bakhmut will change little at the General Host Theater. Russia has not won any victory in recent months, so it needs something to show in which direction the war is moving in terms of ideology. Earlier, Focus wrote that Arestovich stated that the outskirts of Soledar under the control of the invaders.

According to the advisor to the VP, the invaders could not capture Bakhmut, and therefore decided to take up the Soledar because of the features of the area. We will remind that under the soledar the wound was received by famous actor Dmitry Linartovich. The fighter was diagnosed with severe contusion. Financial assistance began to be treated for treatment and restoration.
