Pushilin called reports about the green corridor in Soledar a “cheap performance”

Reports spread by the Ukrainian media about the opening of a humanitarian corridor in the Soledar region are a “cheap show”. This statement was made by the acting head of the DPR Denis Pushilin.

Pushilin said that the Ukrainian media are “playing a cheap show” on the topic of creating a “green corridor” for soldiers who were surrounded. In his Telegram channel, he reminded about the operation “Ring”, which went from January to February 1943 during the Great Patriotic War. Its goal was to eliminate the enemy, who was surrounded in Stalingrad.

“Exactly eighty years ago, the operation of the Soviet troops to eliminate the Stalingrad cauldron began. Imagine Goebbels’ statement about the possibility of negotiating with the Russians on the application of the “extraction procedure” to the troops of Paulus,” Pushilin wrote.

The day before, on January 11, the founder of PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin declaredthat the organization of a humanitarian corridor in Soledar “is out of the question.” According to him, civilians were withdrawn from the city, and the Ukrainian military, who did not want to surrender, were destroyed. Prigozhin once again stressed that Soledar was completely liberated from the Ukrainian army. Now there is a cleaning of the city, in particular, salt mines, he specified.

On the night of January 11, Prigogine declaredthat under the control of “Wagner” is the entire territory of Soledar. He stated that other units did not participate in the storming of the city.

In the report of the Ministry of Defense of January 11 saidthat Russian troops blocked the city from the north and south. At the same time, the department reported that the Airborne Forces units are engaged in the liberation of Soledar, the Russian Aerospace Forces also strike at enemy strongholds, and assault squads are fighting in the city.

In the Kremlin urged wait for official information about taking control of Soledar. At the same time, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov noted the positive dynamics in the conduct of the special operation.
