Today both Russia and Ukraine confirmed that Severodonetsk is under russian and LPR control. Ukraine called it a “tactical retreat” xD. More than 800 hostages held by the ukronazis were freed. Now russian and LPR forces are entering Lisichansk, fierce battles for the city are going on.

    Couldn’t really follow events for a couple of days. How did they manage to retreat? I thought all the bridges to Lisichansk were destroyed a while ago?

    Will also be interesting to see what happens with the considerable force there. They shouldn’t really be able to retreat and there’s no industrial area like Azot or Azov afaik. Could be the next mass surrender.

      They didnt retreat to Lisichansk, they went further west, out of the encirclement. They lost many soldiers in the retreat too, since the road out was under constant russian shelling
