Russia has taken ” full control ” of Lysychansk, the last Ukrainian-controlled city in the eastern Luhansk region. This was stated by the Russian Defense Minister, Sergei Shoigu, quoted by Ria Novosti. “We will return thanks to our tactics, thanks to the increase in the supply of modern weapons,” promised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in his latest speech.
The Ukrainian military command confirmed that Kiev troops had been forced to withdraw from the city, stating that otherwise there would be “fatal consequences”. Indeed, “in order to preserve the life of the Ukrainian defenders, the decision was made to withdraw”.
