Ukrainian defenders retreated from the city to more prepared positions.



Russian troops completely captured Severodonetsk, Luhansk region. Now you can leave the city only to the territory controlled by Russia. This was announced by the mayor of Severodonetsk Alexander Stryuk on the air of the telethon.

The city is completely under the occupation of the Russian Federation. They are trying to establish their own order there, they have appointed some kind of their own commandant. The city is so destroyed that it will be difficult for people to cope with this situation. Let's hope that the city will return to Ukrainian control as soon as possible," he said.

The mayor explained that while people cannot evacuate, but only go to the occupied territory.

At the same time, the occupiers in Severodonetsk have already begun to shoot propaganda with people who were in the shelters of the Azot plant.

In part, they (the people who were in shelters - ed.) are already leaving the Azot territory. They go out, they shoot propaganda videos with them. They need both medical and psychological help, Stryuk added.

He does not rule out that the invaders in Severodonetsk may soon begin forced passportization. According to the head of the CAA, it is now impossible to transfer humanitarian aid to local residents. Before the occupation, Severodonetsk prepared a minimum supply of medicine for emergencies and first aid.

Earlier, Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar harshly criticized the discussion in social networks of the withdrawal of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Severodonetsk, because it frustrated the plans of the command.

All that can be said at this moment is official sources: the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense (we are always coordinated informationally). Public demonstration by civilians of awareness of the course of military operations and reporting this on social networks to the official statements of the General Staff partly disrupts military operations - as was the case yesterday and the day before yesterday in Severodonetsk. When they simply did not allow the Armed Forces to finalize what was planned,” she said.

According to her, under conditions of non-publicity, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine could perform certain operations and maneuvers for another day or two, but, according to her, discussions in social networks significantly harmed the plans of the Ukrainian military command.

Maliar once again stressed that it is impossible to publicly discuss which settlements units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have withdrawn or entered in order to give them the opportunity to carry out other tasks in conditions of information silence.
