Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[RIA Novosti] Aleksey Arestovich, an adviser to the head of Volodymyr Zelensky's office, called the surrender of Lisichansk and Severodonetsk a successful operation by the Ukrainian military. "The defense of the Lisichansk-Severodonetsk agglomeration is a successful military operation. Its main tasks were: to pin down the main enemy forces, inflict losses on them, buy time for the supply of Western weapons and improve the second line of defense, create conditions for our offensive operations in other sectors of the front," — wrote Arestovich in the Telegram channel. According to him, "all tasks of the operation have been completed." He is convinced that Ukrainian troops will be able to take Lysichansk back under their control. "Today is a holiday in the city": the liberation of Lisichansk “One of the main achievements of this operation is the broken Red Army stereotype “not a step back”, which for eight years, by inertia, dominated our military thought and cost us both Ilovaisk and the fall of the DAP (Donetsk airport. - Approx. ed.), 32- And the breaking of a stereotype is worth a lot. This is the birth of a national military school... For once, we made them beautiful again," Arestovich said. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced the liberation of the Lugansk People's Republic . As a result of successful military operations, the Russian Armed Forces, together with units of the People's Militia of the LPR, established full control over Lisichansk, the last city in the republic in which Ukrainian troops were stationed, as well as over a number of nearby settlements, the largest of which are Belogorovka, Novodruzhesk, Maloryazantsevo and Belaya Gora. Leaving the city, Ukrainian militants blew up and destroyed some of the important administrative buildings, including the city hall. The correspondent of RIA Novosti reported that the military allied forces, having entered the city, hoisted the Banner of Victory on the destroyed administration building. Earlier, another large city of the LPR was liberated - Severodonetsk , in which the important chemical plant "Azot" is located. Posted by: badanov 2022-07-05 |
