Russian propagandist Solovyov claims he came under fire near Vuhledar

He stated this on Sunday, March 5.

Solovyov claimed that he came under artillery fire while visiting the 155th Marine Brigade of the Russian forces near Vuhledar in the Donetsk region.

According to him, "Ukrainian artillery launched intense fire" on the place where his meeting with the Russian military took place.

"But everything turned out fine," Solovyov said.

The propagandist suspects that the information regarding the movement of his film crew through the occupied territory of the Ukrainian region might have been leaked to the Ukrainian side beforehand.

"I believe the military counter-intelligence will investigate and find out how the enemy obtained knowledge of our movements," he added.

• On March 5th, the General Staff reported that due to devastating losses, the leadership and servicemen of the 155th Marine Brigade of the Russian forces have refused to launch another offensive in the Vuhledar direction without additional support and training.
