Should the privateer Wagner cooperate and coordinate with the Russian tactical forces? It seems so. Because Wagner showed unique virtues in civil warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"12291\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-122.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12291\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"12290\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-121.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12290\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The task of penetrating the city blocks controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine was successfully solved by the actions of the Wagner PMC assault detachments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A heterogeneous military force, which included both Wagner units and units of the Russian Armed Forces, acted according to a single plan, which included the fulfillment of several combat missions. Between them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The exclusion of Soledar from the north and the south,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The isolation of the battle area in the city,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blocking the transfer of reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from neighboring regions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preventing the exit of the Ukrainian Army from the city.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Also, the aggressive advance of the troops was supported by air force and Artillery strikes on enemy positions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, Wagner played the role of the &#8220;hammer&#8221; and the Russian tactical forces the role of the &#8220;anvil&#8221;. It is recalled that on Wednesday the founder of Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced the takeover of Soledar. It was noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost 200 people while trying to retake the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Western media only acknowledged the fall of Soledar on Friday. The capture of Soledar is of great importance to the continuation of a successful offensive in the entire Donetsk region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, it opens up the possibility of cutting off the supply routes of the Ukrainian troops in Artemovsk, located in the southwest, and then blocking in a &#8220;cauldron&#8221; the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that remain in this city. It should be emphasized that the Ukrainian Forces control only a small part of Soledar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Russian forces fighting for &#039;credit&#039; over capture of Soledar\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SluZcU6Da9k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As a military expert from the LPR, Colonel Vitaly Kiselyov, told TASS, among the Ukrainian prisoners, soldiers of the 77th Independent Airborne Brigade, an elite unit, predominate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the liberation of Soledar, one can expect the advance of Russian troops on the town of Chasov Yar, which is located southwest of Soledar (20 km as the crow flies) and west of Artemovsk. It could be assumed that the next target after Artemovsk should be the cities of Slavyansk \u2013 Kramatorsk \u2013 Druzhkovka \u2013 Konstantinovka. But first it is necessary to destroy the line of defense from Seversk to Artemovsk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we talk about the advantages of a private military company in an armed conflict, it is worth noting that the military of such organizations are more financially motivated than ideological.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the strictest discipline, accountability and mutual responsibility usually operate within Wagner units. All this allows them to achieve their goals faster and more efficiently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Russian Ministry of Defense noted the serious role of the Wagner PMC during the battles for the liberation of Soledar and stated that:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2362,2845,7,3830],"tags":[2358,3217,58,2821,1156,1976,3395],"class_list":["post-12289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-military-science","category-military-strategy-doctrines","category-research","category-war-in-ukraine","tag-doctrine","tag-military-doctrine","tag-russia","tag-strategic-doctrine","tag-ukraine","tag-war","tag-war-in-ukraine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12289"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12289\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12293,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12289\/revisions\/12293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
