On Sunday, Ukraine’s army announced that its troops had withdrawn from Lysychansk, a key city in eastern Ukraine that had been under heavy attack by Russian forces for weeks.
“In order to save the lives of Ukrainian defenders, a decision was made to resignfrom the city, according to the statement of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. “In the face of the multiple superiority of Russian troops – artillery, air force, missile launch systems, ammunition and personnel – continuing the defense of the city would have fatal consequences.“, this press release adds.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the capture of Lysichansk on Sunday morning, which allows Russia to control the entire Ukrainian region of Lugansk.
The capture of Lysichansk allows Moscow to advance across Donbas, an industrial region in eastern Ukraine partially controlled by pro-Russian separatists since 2014, and advance on Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, two major cities further west that were shelled on Sunday. fire
