The Russian minister of defense Sergej Sjoigoe had already reported that Russia had control over Lysytsjank and had the Loehansk in hand. Oekraïne said that for a long time. “Om de levens van Oekraïense verdedigers te behouden, is only om ons terug te trekken uit de stad”, zei de generale staf van de Oekraïense strijdkrachten zondagavond.
In Lysytsiank there were 100,000 residents before the beginning of the sea. Zusterstad Severodonetsk will be transferred to Russia.
