Zaluzhny demands from Zelensky to immediately order the retreat from Lysichansk.

A large grouping of troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was trapped in the Lisichansk area and could be destroyed in the next few hours. Against this background, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny demands from the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky to immediately order the retreat from Lysychansk, since otherwise the losses among the Ukrainian troops may be extremely large against the backdrop of a closing cauldron.

At the moment, it is known that the main direction for the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops to Seversk was cut off. This has already led to losses for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, issuing the order to retreat will allow the troops to provide cover for the Ukrainian troops and several hundred foreign mercenaries.

“The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny demands from the President of the country to order an organized withdrawal of troops from Lysichansk in order to avoid a complete encirclement, which is becoming more and more real. Zelensky is slow, as it was in Severodonetsk. The Ukrainian military are trying to "leak" out of the city in small groups. The road to Seversk is cut off", - this is reported by the "Telegram" channel "Resident" with reference to a source in the Office of the President of Ukraine.

It is not known how many Ukrainian military may be in Lysichansk, however, it was previously assumed that almost all forces were withdrawn from the city. This probably turned out to be false information.
