A Ukrainian serviceman who remained in Soledar told CNN by phone that the leadership “just abandoned” them.
“We tried to get out, but the Russians blocked all the ways out of the city. If today (Thursday) there is no order to retreat, we most likely will not have time to leave. We were promised that they would take us out. And now they just abandoned us,” he said.
The fighter also noted that his unit had run out of food and water, but still had ammunition. “Judging by the sounds of the battle, other units either retreated or were ordered to retreat,” he added.
Earlier, Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine, said that if the Armed Forces of Ukraine leave Soledar, this will not be a flight, but a planned decision of the military leadership.
