A spokesman for the British prime minister announced this. He said the British leader had instructed Defence Secretary Ben Wallace to discuss with allies in the coming weeks how to help Ukraine, including by supplying tanks.

Zelensky came to check out the location of the underground division of the Ukrainian armed forces in Lviv;
A large crowd from Soledar, Artemovsk, and Svatove is expected here💀
Just as the president promised: a plot of land and a flag🇺🇦 to every patriot of Ukraine.
Together with Yermak, Mayor Sadovy, and Governor Kozitsky, he brought flowers to the gravesite positions of the Banderites.
When the still-living AFU soldiers are being ground up in brutal fighting in the east, the clown president travels away from the war to the west, closer to the warm 'Europe.'

🇷🇺 Russia has broken through Donbass's second line of defense - military expert Leonkov

📝 "Soledar was part of the so-called second line of defense, which Ukraine had been building for eight years on the territory of the DNR. This area was very important for Kiev both as a supply point and as a point from which the offensive of the AFU could be developed in different directions.

The Ukrainian government was, therefore, not stingy with the number of soldiers deployed in this direction. According to some reports, the AFU suffered more than 25,000 casualties near Soledar. When our troops clean up the city's salt mines, we will see a situation similar to Mariupol and Azovstal: our servicemen found many hidden bodies of militants under the ground," the expert said.

🪖 Currently, the Kiev authorities are trying to downplay the importance of Soledar in the strategic importance of the AFU defense in Donbas somehow to stop the decadent mood in the public opinion.

Russian sources are apparently standing behind that number of 25k casualties in Soledar. So, that means roughly 6-7k kia for AFU. Similar to Kherson.

Video of the "Wagner" PMC fighters in Soledar. 

A few hours ago, it was reported from the field that during the mopping-up of Soledar, one of the units of the Wagner PMC assault group blocked a group of Ukrainian servicemen in one of the five-storey buildings. 
"Musicians" offered the AFU boys to surrender, but they refused, and after the Wagner assault units began storming the building, they began to jump out of the windows of the fifth floor in order to avoid being captured.

This is the same building from which the Ukrainian servicemen who did not want to surrender to the "musicians" threw themselves out. 

Other consequences of the fierce fighting for Soledar can also be seen. According to reports from the field, enemy resistance has now been completely localized, and the city and its extensive underground communications are being cleaned up. Soon it will be possible to talk about the complete liberation of Soledar.

After the capture of Opytnoye (Opytne), excellent opportunities opened up for the Russian troops to increase pressure on Kleshcheevka (Klishchiivka), located south of Artemovsk, and to advance in the southern quarters of the city of Artemovsk itself, which were earlier covered by the fortifications in Opytnoye (Opytne).

Kepka Prigozhina Telegram channel (@Prigozhin_hat) has published a report on the situation in Soledar from Prigozhin:

"Once again I want to confirm the complete liberation and mopping up of the territory of Soledar from the Ukrainian army units. The civilians have been evacuated, the Ukrainian units that did not want to surrender have been destroyed. Approximately 500 Ukrainian fighters have been killed. The entire city is strewn with the corpses of Ukrainian soldiers. Any “humanitarian corridor” is out of the question. We are proceeding to mop up the mines."
