Russian losses are evident in the streets of a key liberated Ukrainian city

LA Times  

A Ukrainian serviceman smokes a cigarette after finding the body of a comrade in the recently recaptured town of Lyman. Russian troops abandoned a key Ukrainian city so rapidly that they left the bodies of their comrades in the streets, offering more evidence Tuesday of Moscow’s latest military defeat as it struggles to hang on to four regions of Ukraine that it illegally annexed last week. “God forbid, now I can’t hear well.” Russian forces launched more missile strikes at Ukrainian cities Tuesday as Ukraine pressed its counteroffensives in the east and the south. Before that announcement, Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Yevhen Perebyinis told a conference in the Turkish capital, Ankara, on Tuesday that Ukraine needed more weapons since Russia began a partial mobilization of draft-age men last month. In an interview with the Associated Press on Tuesday, Energoatom President Petro Kotin said the company could restart two of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant’s reactors in a matter of days.
