‘It is pointless to be in broken positions’: Ukrainian army leaves Severodonetsk

On the morning of June 24, the head of the Luhansk regional military administration, Haidai, wrote that the Ukrainian army would be forced to leave Severodonetsk. ‘Unfortunately, we will have to withdraw our military from Severodonetsk, as it is pointless to be in broken positions. The number of casualties is increasing,’ Haidai wrote.

According to the head of the administration, 90% of the buildings in Severodonetsk, which has been bombarded by the Russians every day for four months, have been destroyed or damaged.
