The speaker of the NM LPR specified that the command of the brigade intended to withdraw the military "as discreetly as possible", but their flight did not go unnoticed by the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine of other units located in the city. Also, units of Polish mercenaries were abandoned in Soledar. The Kyiv side, according to Filiponenko, is trying to hide the retreat from the city. The Ukrainian military is being convinced that there is a rotation there.
