Russia tries to press its offensive into Ukraine's east

POKROVSK: Russian forces tried on Monday to press their offensive deeper into eastern Ukraine after taking control of a key stronghold.

The Ukrainian military confirmed that its forces had withdrawn from the city of Lysychansk, the last bulwark of Ukrainian resistance in the Luhansk province, one of the two regions that make up the country's eastern industrial heartland of Donbas. The Russians also control about half of Donetsk, the second province of Donbas.

Luhansk governor Serhii Haidai said Ukrainian forces retreated from Lysychansk to avoid being surrounded.

There was a risk of Lysychansk encirclement, Haidai told the Associated Press, adding that Ukrainian troops could have held on for a few more weeks but would have potentially paid too high a price.

We managed to do centralised withdrawal and evacuate all injured, Haidai said. We took back all the equipment, so from this point withdrawal was organized well.
