I think that the Soviets will throw newly arrived reinforcements, either Red Army or PACT units, at W. Berlin.
Since CIC among polyglot allies is probably going to be an issue, it might be preferable/easier to send Soviet reinforcements to the front, where Soviet units are already engaged, and leave W. Berlin to the PACT.
On the other hand, the Soviets could place so much symbolic and/or strategic value on W. Berlin, that it's capture becomes a Soviet-led, Soviet-executed enterprise.
It's a moot point now, but in my T2K, W. Berlin would have already been weakened by at least a couple of months of no electricity, running water, or food/medical supply deliveries, making it a bit softer a nut to crack, regardless of who does the final cracking.
