The formalization of the announcement of the withdrawal of the Ukrainian troops confirms the announcement of the taking of Lysychansk made hours before by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The capture of this city, in eastern Ukraine, would allow the Russians to fully control the Lugansk region and threaten Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, two important cities in the industrial Donbass region controlled by Ukraine.
Both have been attacked by rockets this Sunday.
