Yevgeny Prigozhin claims that the village has been captured by PMCs, while the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense reports heavy fighting for Soledar.

RIA Novosti offers a third version: about the “liberation of the salt mines of Soledar” (recall, according to Western media, Prigozhin sought to seize them for commercial use).
