Russia says its forces have full control of Ukraine’s Luhansk region

Russia said it had taken full control of the eastern Ukrainian region of Luhansk on Sunday after landing the final Ukrainian fortification of the megacity of Lysychansk, where Kyiv said it had withdrawn to save the lives of its colors.

The region’s prisoner, a crucial Russian war end, hands Moscow a boost after weeks of slow advances and shifts the battleground focus to the neighbouring Donetsk region, where Kyiv still controls substantial home.

Since abandoning an assault on the capital Kyiv, Russia has concentrated its military operation on the artificial Donbas heartland that comprises the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, where Moscow- backed separatist delegates have been fighting Ukraine since 2014.

Russia says it’s landing the Luhansk region in order to give it to the Russian- backed Luhansk People’s Republic whose independence it recognised on the dusk of the war.

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu informed President Vladimir Putin that Luhansk had been “ delivered ”, the defence ministry said, after Russia before said its forces had captured townlets around Lysychansk and encircled the megacity.

Ukraine’s military command said its forces had been forced to retreat from the megacity.

“ The durability of the defence of the megacity would lead to fatal consequences. In order to save the lives of Ukrainian protectors, a decision was made to withdraw, ” it said in a statement on social media.

Ukrainian officers, who say references to “ liberating ” Ukrainian home are Russian propaganda, had reported violent ordnance drumfires on domestic areas.

“ Ukrainian forces likely conducted a deliberate pullout from Lysychansk, performing in the Russian seizure of the megacity on July 2, ” judges at the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington- grounded think tank, wrote in a briefing note.

They grounded their assessment on footage showing Russian forces walking casually in northern and eastern neighbourhoods of Lysychansk, saying it suggested many or no Ukrainian forces remained. It said the footage included images posted on social media and geolocated to confirm where it was mugged.

West of Lysychansk in the Donetsk region, at least six people were killed when the Ukrainian megacity of Sloviansk was hit by important shelling from multiple rocket launchers on Sunday, original officers said.

Expensive crusade
Thousands of civilians have been killed and metropolises levelled since Russia raided on February 24, with Kyiv criminating Moscow of designedly targeting civilians. Moscow denies this.

Russia says what it calls a “ special military operation ” in Ukraine aims to cover Russian speakers from chauvinists. Ukraine and its Western abettors say this is a unwarranted rationale for its obvious aggression that aims to seize home.

While Russia would try to frame its advance in Luhansk as a significant moment in the war, it came at a high cost to Russia’s service, said Neil Melvin of the London- grounded think tank RUSI.

“ Ukraine’s position was noway that they could defend all of this. What they have been trying to do is to decelerate down the Russian assault and beget maximum damage, while they make up for a counterattack, ” he said.

Russia’s defence ministry also said on Sunday it had struck the military structure of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s alternate- largest megacity in the northeast, where a Reuters journalist said Ukrainian forces had been erecting bastions after nightly shelling.

Outside a academy in Kharkiv, some residers threw debris into a large crater created by an early morning rocket strike while others got help repairing damaged houses.

“ The woman was lucky that she woke up beforehand in the morning because the roof fell exactly where she had been sleeping, ” one occupant, Oleksii Mihulin, told Reuters.

About 70 kilometres from Kharkiv on the Russian side of the border, Russia also reported explosions on Sunday in Belgorod, which it said killed at least three people and destroyed homes.

“ The sound was so strong that I jumped up, I woke up, got veritably spooked and started screaming, ” a Belgorod occupant told Reuters, adding the blasts passed around 3 am.

Moscow has indicted Kyiv of multitudinous attacks on Belgorod and other areas skirting Ukraine. preliminarily, Kyiv has said similar incidents as vengeance for Russia pounding Ukrainian civic areas into debris.

Military base hit
Ukraine said its airforce had flown some 15 excursions “ in nearly all directions of conflict ”, destroying outfit and two security depots.

In the Russian- engaged southern Ukrainian megacity of Melitopol, Ukrainian forces hit a military logistics base with further than 30 strikes on Sunday, the megacity’s expatriated mayor Ivan Fedorov said.

A Russian- installed functionary verified that strikes had hit the megacity.

Reuters couldn’t singly corroborate the battleground reports.

Ukraine has constantly appealed for an acceleration in munitions inventories from the West, saying its forces are heavily excelled.

Speaking on a visit to Kyiv, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said his government would give Ukraine with fresh armoured vehicles, as well as tensing warrants against Russia.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told broadcaster ARD that Germany was agitating with its abettors security guarantees for Ukraine after the war, though it was clear these would “ not be the same as if someone were a member of Nato ”.
