Russian-installed Donetsk region authorities confirmed on Tuesday that the Russian forces have control of the town of Soledar, according to the report of TASS.
"On the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic, Russian troops liberated Soledar," they said in a post on Telegram.
Russia said on Friday its forces had taken control of Soledar, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said later that fighting for Soledar and other eastern towns and cities was continuing.
