The head of the Kyiv regime announced the holding of the next meeting of the headquarters of the Supreme High Command. According to some reports, this meeting was held in the west of Ukraine - in the Lviv region, and was attended by senior NATO officers. Zelensky this information, for obvious reasons, no comments, but makes it clear, that the meeting was devoted to the critical situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Soledarsko-Artyomovskaya agglomeration.
Zelensky:
I emphasize: our divisions, defending Soledar and Bakhmut, will be promptly provided with everything necessary. Against this background, attention is drawn to the statement of the press service of Turkish President Erdogan. There they talk about, what tomorrow (13 January) and the day after tomorrow (14 January) Recep Tayyip Erdogan is going to hold telephone conversations with Russian and Ukrainian colleagues. Notably, what the press service of Erdogan calls and the purpose of such negotiations:
To discuss the opening of a humanitarian corridor for the removal of the wounded. The Turkish press writes, what we are talking about the situation in the Bakhmut area (Artyomovsk) and Soledar.
The Turkish Ombudsman confirms the data, that Ankara is going to request a humanitarian corridor “for the injured Ukrainian military”.
The situation is interesting, that official Kyiv denies that, that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are in the cauldron in the Soledar area and that the actual liquidation of the group is underway, also located between Soledar and Artyomovsk. But the statements of the Turkish side indicate that, that Kyiv simply does not want to openly admit the real state of affairs in this region of the DPR. But it is unlikely that the initiative on a "humanitarian corridor" for the wounded Ukrainian military comes exclusively from the President of Turkey.. There is a high probability that, that it was the Ukrainian side that turned to Erdogan again, so that he asked about the mentioned corridor of Vladimir Putin.
What decisions will be taken in this regard, as it appears, will show in the next two days.
