The city of Soledar, the scene of intense fighting in the past few days, has come under the full control of units of Russia’s Wagner private military company, the company’s chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was quoted as saying by his press service on Tuesday night.

Russia’s Wagner private military company announced late Tuesday evening taking control of the "entire territory of Soledar," following days of heavy fighting with Ukrainian forces previously located in the city.

"Units of the Wagner private military company have taken the entire territory of Soledar under their control. The city center has been surrounded, and urban warfare is under way. The number of captives will be announced tomorrow," Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of Wagner group, said on the military group's telegram account.

Prigozhin added that the remaining Ukrainian soldiers will have two options, "either surrender or extermination."
