The Ukrainian army could retreat from Severodonetsk and other cities in the Donbas while the troops regroup.
The temporary loss of territories during the possible retreat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not a tragedy. This was stated by Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov in an interview for the Financial Times, published on Monday, June 6.

Thus, according to him, now the enemy in the area of Severodonetsk and Lisichansk has an advantage in artillery.
“Unfortunately, today we cannot respond adequately in kind, provided that the weapons we so desperately need are not available right now,” Danilov said.
He admitted that the Ukrainian army could retreat from Severodonetsk and other cities in the Donbass as the troops regroup.
“The temporary loss of territories is not just a tragedy. The loss of a country will be a tragedy,” Danilov added.
The NSDC secretary noted that he was confident that the Western weapons needed for counterattacks would “certainly come”, and added that he was “more than confident that we would return our territories.” At the same time, victory against Russia cannot be a quick process.
“Russia is a large country in size, and it has a lot of cannon fodder brought in here. And this process (victory against the Russian Federation – ed.) Can not be very fast,” Danilov summed up.
Earlier, the head of the Luhansk OVA, Sergei Gaidai, said that the situation in Severodonetsk has deteriorated. There are very dynamic battles taking place in the city.
