Soledar's price is Ukraine’s offensive

They say comrade Lapin, cursed by Kadyrov and Prigozhin, was appointed to command the Russian ground forces. This is the essence of Putin's regime and its weakness; they do not evaluate their people by results or competence, their people are their people. These are the ones with whom you have been stealing and celebrating for many years, and therefore how can you punish them. And this is fine. Because, as I said, moron generals and Putin's corruption are our biggest allies in this war.

But I think that Lapin has not truly left his position. And the analysis of the fighting gives the impression that he is the author of everything that is happening now near Soledar and Bakhmut now.

“It was Lapin who applied the war style of assault with unlimited cannon fodder and artillery near Severodonetsk. Lapin did not invent the tactic of "forcing the enemy troops out", but he is definitely its biggest follower”

Firstly, it was Lapin who applied the war style of assault with unlimited cannon fodder and artillery near Severodonetsk. Lapin did not invent the tactic of "forcing the enemy troops out", but he is definitely its biggest follower.

Secondly, the attack on Soledar was planned back in July. At that time, the goal of capturing Soledar was to cut the defense line between Siversk and Bakhmut, and together with the occupation troops near Lyman to surround Siversk, and then to capture Bakhmut coming from 3 directions.

Now there are no Russian occupiers in Lyman, and, according to Kadyrov, Lapin is to blame. Therefore, capturing Soledar and advancing further, on the contrary, puts Russian troops under the threat of a strike from the north. While Bakhmut is not cut off in any way.

“What is the price of all this? The price is our future offensive. Soledar and Bakhmut are a colossal depletion of enemy resources”

What is really happening? It is very difficult for all of us to receive news from Soledar and Bakhmut. So what is the price of all this? The price is our future offensive. Soledar and Bakhmut are a colossal depletion of the enemy's resources. Yes, Russia may have a lot of cannon fodder, but, believe me, its situation with shells and equipment is very, very dire. It cannot keep fighting at the same scale as it did in July, and soon it will not be able to do it on the same scale as in December.

So yes, the defenders of Soledar and Bakhmut are now making a huge contribution to our future counteroffensive. And by it, the approaching end of the war.
