#2 A huge day in the east. Severodonetsk has been abandoned. Lysychansk is now totally cut off and will be abandoned shortly. Supplies of arms, ammo, fuel and munitions are completely cut off. Ukrainian troops are mutinying, commanders are fleeing, battalions are below 50% of their stength.

This is a disaster in slow motion.

#8 ^ good timing. The news from Ukraine today and from here on out is awful for Biden and his neo-cons.

24 June
Serhiy Haidai, the governor of the Luhansk region, one of two in the eastern Donbas, said that Russian forces had been successful in their advances.

He said that enemy forces had captured Loskutivka, a settlement to the south of Lysychansk, which threatened to isolate Ukrainian troops.

Governor Haidai also said that all Lysychansk was within reach of Russian fire and that Ukrainian troops there might retreat to new positions to avoid being trapped.

“In order to avoid encirclement, our command could order that the troops retreat to new positions,” Haidai said in a post on Telegram.
