Ukraine's forces have achieved a rare victory in the Donbas region, with the retreat from the town of Soledar on Wednesday. Vadym Skibitsky, deputy chief of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence, said the Russians have begun dispersing military supplies across the Russian Federation, while Serhii Cherevatyi, a spokesperson for Ukraine's forces in the east, said the retreat was to "preserve the lives of the personnel". Military analysts believe the appointment of Gen. Valery Gerasimov as the commander of Russia’s offensive in Ukraine is a last throw of the dice by the Kremlin, and the Russians are adapting to the Ukrainian forces' tactics. This retreat is a modest victory for Ukraine, but the conflict is far from over.
