They might very well. And not even so much as to unblock their brothers-in-arms who are trapped in the cauldron. There are still pockets of resistance in the city from AFU fighters who have not yet realised that they are in the cauldron. Here's an interview with one of them on CNN:
"We are holding on, although practically on our own." Without commanders.It is not clear who our neighbours are, but someone is there and is fighting. "We have no communication with them."
There is a loss of control when the units do not know that they are already surrounded. And they are probably fighting each other. According to unverified information, part of the Soledar garrison may be hiding in the salt mines underground.
Now there are reports that Kiev is dragging its reserves to Soledar. But not for the sake of the "prisoners of the underground." We have seen many examples where the Kiev regime has become hostage to symbols and PR victories.
This was the case at Ilovaysk, the Donetsk airport, and Azovstal. Ukrainian propaganda draws an image of the indestructibility and steadfastness of its army from doomed defensive strongholds. instead of withdrawing units from areas under attack, as it was smart enough to do in Lisichansk.
At the same time, of course, there are no fools in Kiev. And they understand that by throwing reserves into the fight, they risk a Russian offensive in other weakened directions. We'll see who wins: Zelensky's PR or Zaluzhny's military thinking. Their rivalry is already palpable.

Soledar is now under the complete control of the Russian Army (its Wagner wing).
Hundreds of fighters from the Ukrainian side have been taken prisoner.
Mop-up operations continue, but they are increasingly turning to patrol duty now.
The Kiev regime will continue to counterattack, futilely. The next goals are Seversk and Artyomovsk.

Ukrainian soldier in Soledar describes dire situation: "We are just abandoned"
A Ukrainian soldier in the town of Soledar described a dire situation to CNN on Thursday evening, saying โwe are just abandoned.โ
โWe tried to withdraw ourselves, but the Orcs [Russians] are already there. If there is no order to withdraw today, we will most likely not have time to leave,โ he told CNN over the phone. โWe were told that we would be withdrawn. And now we ะฐre just abandoned.โ
He said that the soldiers had run out of food, were running low on water, and that they had wounded soldiers. He said that they still had some ammunition.
โThe last evacuation was three days ago,โ he said. โThe order was to hold out to the very end. Judging by the sounds of the battle, our neighbors [other units] either withdrew or were ordered to withdraw. We were told to hold out.โ
โWe hold on as long as we can. But anyone can get tired and hit the limit eventually. It is impossible to hold on just on a high morale for so long.โ

Hacker DPR Joker @dprJoker shared an interesting story about the AFU soldiers in Soledar
In a very secret and very private WhatsApp chat room, escaped Ukrainian soldiers from Soledar share their impressions after meeting with the Wagner fighters. They say Wagnerites are fighting like aliens, who can see through walls, teleport, and move very fast. They advise their comrades-in-arms to run away "if they encounter Wagnerites." By the way, this advice should be heeded by Ukrainian soldiers who have not yet escaped from Bakhmut. This night will be the last for many.

German Chancellor Scholz is caught in a trap because of the supplies of Leopard 2 tanks, which Ukraine is hoping for, believes a German former NATO general.
If the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany refuses to give Poland permission for supplies, he will cause problems with his allies in the North Atlantic Alliance. Agreeing to give Kiev the machines would upset Scholz's own Social Democratic Party, Hans-Lothar Domrรถse told RND.
Earlier, Berlin stated that it knew nothing about Poland's "tank alliance" and was not going to send Kiev a Leopard 2 yet.
Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Danilov had already threatened that Germany would have to "fight near Berlin and near Stuttgart" if the Germans did not hand over the tanks.

Military expert @Boris_Rozhin reported on the situation near Bakhmut:
Reports on the operational encirclement of Artemovsk and the capture of Krasnaya Gora, Kleshcheevka, and Paraskoviyivka are currently ahead of events (Bakhmut is not under operational encirclement, and these settlements have not been captured). Russian troops are fighting for these settlements, and there is a lot of hard work ahead. There is also much work to be done before fire control is established over the Chasov Yar-Artemovsk road.

Washington pursues its main goal, which is to neutralise this company.
In addition, American diplomats stepped up the collection of data on Wagner's activities in the countries of the African continent.

Situation map, 12 Jan
Despite endless false claims of victory, Kievans fear a possible offensive. In the north, AFU is laying mines and strengthening positions. These events provide hints as to upcoming changes in the nature of the SMO. The ambiguous situation in Belarus, success in Soledar, as well as changes in the SMO command structure are clear signs of a sharp change in the situation at the front. There was no "freeze".
โ๏ธSituation for past days:
โซ๏ธ Svatovo-Kremennoe direction
Our artillery and army aviation worked on militant positions in the vicinity of Kislovka, Berestovoye in Kharkov region and Novoselovsky LPR. In the districts of Kislovka, Olshana, Tabaevka, Krakhmalny and Pershotravnevoy of Kharkiv region, five Ukrainian sabotage & recon groups were liquidated. In addition, in the areas of Stelmahovka, Novolyubovka, Nevsky LPR, Serebryanka and Grigorovka of the DPR, RF Armed Forces, combined active combat operations with complex fires, to inflict heavy losses on the AFU.
โซ๏ธ Soledar direction
In Soledar, city shelters previously used by AFU support units are being cleared. Fighting for the "Salt" railway station continues. According to information from the field, the AFU is regrouping in Seversk region and west of Soledar. Despite rumors about attempts by the Kiev regime to regain control of the city, AFU command should admit the city is lost to them.
โซ๏ธUgledar direction
In the districts of Novomikhailovka, Prechistovka and Novoselka of the DPR, up to AFU 30 militants and five cars were destroyed by offensive fires.
๐ฅRussian fighter aircraft shot down a Ukrainian Su-25 in the Nikanorovka area of the DPR. An American AN / TPQ-50 radar station was eliminated in the Lozovoy DPR region.
๐กThe legendary "Bradley" Fighting Vehicle. Now a fairly serious combat vehicle will be delivered to "country 404". Clearly a higher class than what was supplied earlier. What are its features? How to destroy it?

Russian Diplomat urges to consider accession of new regions to Russia if talks with Ukraine resume
The accession of new regions to Russia should be taken into consideration if the talks with Ukraine resume, director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Second CIS Department Alexey Polishchuk said in an interview with TASS.
Since the moment when Kiev suspended the negotiations "the situation has largely changed as new regions joined Russia," he noted. "Consequently, new conditions should be considered if the talks resume and continue," the diplomat added.
Moscow has never avoided the talks, Polishchuk pointed out.
"At the end of February 2022, we acceded to Kievโs request and achieved the mutually acceptable framework for agreements by the end of March or the beginning of April after many rounds of intense work," he said. "However, Kiev, obviously at the behest of the Anglo-Saxons scared by the prospects of the peaceful settlement, unexpectedly interrupted the negotiation process, leaving our proposals dated April 15 unanswered," the official added.
From September 23 to September 27, the Donetsk Peopleโs Republic (DPR) and the Lugansk Peopleโs Republic (LPR) as well as the Kherson Region and the Zaporozhye Region held a referendum where the majority of voters opted to join Russia. On September 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin and the heads of the DPR and the LPR, the Zaporozhye and Kherson Regions signed treaties on their accession to Russia. On October 4, Putin signed laws on ratification of treaties on accession of the DPR and the LPR, the Zaporozhye and Kherson Regions to Russia.

The European Commission supports Estonia's intention to confiscate Russian assets.
The European Commission supports Estonia's intention to start confiscating Russian financial assets without waiting for other EU countries. EC spokesman Christian Wiegand said this at a briefing in Brussels on Thursday.
"In general, I can say that it is good that individual EU countries have started to move in that direction," he said.
This was quite an expected statement. Well, Russia can respond to it by nationalising the assets of unfriendly countries on Russian territory. A rough estimate puts them at about $1 trillion.

No kidding. How really dangerous are the Ukrainian "Bradleys"?
In Russia, the opinion about the Bradley IFV was greatly influenced by the comedy "The Pentagon Wars", in which corruption in the American army is scourged by the example of this project.
Indeed, the legendary long-term construction lasted 17 years, and $14 billion was spent on development, but in the end the United States still turned it out to be a fairly serious combat vehicle. Although not without drawbacks, they are still of much higher quality than what was supplied to Ukraine earlier.
The AFU will receive M2A2 ODS, an upgraded version based on the experience of the Gulf War, saturated with relatively modern electronics. By the way, during that very war, the Bradleys destroyed more Iraqi tanks than the famous Abrams. No matter how much skeptics laugh at the "aluminum" armor of this IFV, it's not so easy to punch a Bradley in the forehead from a 30-mm cannon of our BMP. The armored vehicle holds 14.5 caliber armor-piercing bullets from all sides, and the presence of dynamic protection ensures high chances of survival of the crew when fired from RPG and ATGM.
The 25-mm M242 Bushmaster cannon is quite comparable to the domestic 30-mm 2A42 and 2A72 guns mounted on the BMP-2 and BMP-3, and 2 TOW-2 ATGMs can effectively resist tanks at a distance of up to 3.7 km. In addition, NATO information and control systems are integrated into the Bradley, and it can be not just a means of strengthening the infantry squad, but also serve as a kind of mini-headquarters.
Does this mean that the Americans have supplied the AFU with a "miracle weapon" that will change the course of the war? No! Bradley has many shortcomings and we have something to destroy this IFV with. The presence of dynamic protection does not guarantee the survival of the vehicle even after a cumulative grenade hit from an RPG, and the side armor will not cope with the guns of our BMP. About what will happen to the Bradley when meeting with a tank shell, we will simply keep silent.
Russian military commanders and patriotic bloggers promise mountains of gold to whoever destroys the first Bradley, not because it is such a terrible enemy, but because it is priceless to show the world footage of burning modern American technology.
