The first data on the number and composition of Soledar’s dead defenders appear. Expectedly, foreigners were among the AFU soldiers. On the evening of 11 January, official Wagner PMC sources announced that they had earlier received a request to trace two British men who had stopped making contact from Soledar.
“On 8 January, the “Ask Wagner” hotline received a request to find two British citizens, Andrew Bagshaw and Christopher Parry, who went missing on 6 January in Soledar. Today, the body of one of them has been found, and documents for both British nationals were found with him.” – Wagner PMC.

It is highly likely that the second British man also died or heavy injured and his documents were taken by his compatriot.
One of the provided documents is a volunteer card in the name of Christopher Parry issued by a “charity organization”. Such documents are usually used by mercenaries to travel to Ukraine. However, it is not reported whether the dead man was in a military uniform or whether he was carrying a weapon.
Earlier, on 11 January, Evgeniy Prigozhin, head of the Wagner PMC, said that while inspecting the city, about 500 people were found dead. “The entire city is strewn with the corpses of Ukrainian soldiers,” he reported.
More information on foreigners killed or captured in Soledar is expected to emerge soon.
