Russia-Ukraine war: Zelenskyy pledges to retake Lysychansk

Al Jazeera  

Ukraine’s president promises to retake Lysychansk after Russia claimed the city’s capture has given it full control of the Luhansk region. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has acknowledged that his forces have withdrawn from the bombed-out city of Lysychansk, the last Ukrainian stronghold in the eastern Luhansk province. Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu informed President Vladimir Putin that Luhansk had been “liberated”, the defence ministry said, after Russia earlier on Sunday said its forces had captured villages around Lysychansk and encircled the city. Russia’s defence ministry also said it had struck the military infrastructure of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city in the northeast.
