All Ukraine soldiers have withdrawn from Sievierodonetsk.

Apparently there was an orderly withdrawal overnight. The orcs are now in control of the rubble they created, for the moment.

Translation in thread.

Ukraine also avoided encirclement a bit farther south.

I suspect they may retreat from Lysychansk across the river. The city that is actually strategic is farther west. Have to look it up.

... that city as of yet just a boasting point for Putler.

Good for UKR to fall back to lines where they can blow up more orcs and keep more of their own
