President Volodymyr Zelensky has said "this is what madness looks like" to describe the fighting around Soledar in Ukraine's east.

Russian troops and the Wagner Group of mercenaries have been trying to capture the town as part of overall plans to take control of Bakhmut – just 10km further south in Ukraine's Donetsk region.

In this video, defence and security expert Glen Grant told Forces News: "If Bakhmut and Soledar get cut off, then Russia will have a breakthrough gap that they can then head west into the Donetsk region and take more ground."
