Just as Moscow adjusted its front-line commanders, the founder of the Russian "Wagner" private military group, Prigozin, announced the "liberation" of Solidar on the 12th. He said: "I once again confirm that the territory of Solidar has been completely liberated from the Ukrainian army and cleaned up. Civilians have withdrawn from the city. The Russian army has eliminated 500 Ukrainian soldiers who are unwilling to surrender." The press secretary of the Russian president, Peskov, praised the Russian army for taking Solidar at a press conference on the 12th. He said, "This is a heroic act that is desperate". Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense released a message on the 11th that the Russian army controlled the peripheral settlements of Soledar, and also imposed a blockade on Soledar in the north and south. However, Ukraine did not recognize the fall of Soledad. On the evening of the 11th, Ukrainian President Zelensky made a video speech saying that the battle in Solidar was still going on and the battle in Donetsk direction was still going on. Now Russia and its propagandists are spreading "rumors about the occupation of Soledar". He said: "At present, Solidar has been almost completely destroyed by the Russian army, and the local fighting is still continuing. We are strengthening the local defense, and our potential is growing. The tanks provided by the West will raise our combat potential to a new level." The Ukrainian presidential adviser, Podoyak, told AFP on the 11th that if Ukraine obtains more western weapons, especially long-range missiles and heavy tanks, Ukraine will be able to win the war in 2023. Otherwise, the war will continue for "decades". He said that the "bloodiest" battle is taking place in Soredar at present, and said that "only missiles with a range of more than 100 kilometers can enable us to significantly accelerate the lifting of the occupation of our territory". According to the Kiev Post, on the 11th, Polish President Duda, who was visiting Lvov, Ukraine, announced that Poland would provide Ukraine with a company of "leopard" type heavy tanks. The Ukrainian military announced on the 12th that Ukrainian soldiers will master the operation of the "leopard" tank in the next few weeks. According to the US CNBC website on the 12th, US Defense Minister Austin will go to Germany next week to participate in the meeting of the Ukrainian Defense Contact Group to discuss matters related to Kiev's desire to acquire heavy tanks and advanced fighters.
