According to Prigozhin, the civilians of the city were withdrawn. Those Ukrainian formations that did not want to surrender were destroyed. The number of those killed on the Ukrainian side is about 500 people. In addition, Prigozhin stressed that there can be no talk of a humanitarian corridor for prisoners.

Then the fighters of the PMC "Wagner" entered the center of Soledar, later appeared on its western outskirts, from where on January 10-11 they knocked out the Ukrainian formations that had settled there.
Earlier, the acting head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, said that the liberation of Soledar and Marinka would be a turning point for the liberation of Donbass as a whole.
