Ukraine loses eastern city of Lysychansk to Russia

Kyiv, July 4 (UNI) Ukraine's military confirmed that they have lost the eastern city of Lysychansk to Russian forces, BBC reported on Monday.
"After heavy fighting for Lysychansk, the defence forces of Ukraine were forced to withdraw from their occupied positions and lines," the army general staff said, adding that the move was carried out "in order to preserve the lives of Ukrainian defenders".
Earlier Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said his forces had captured Lysychansk and taken full control of Luhansk region.
He admitted that the Russians had multiple advantages in artillery, aircraft, manpower and other forces and his forces were completely outgunned.
President Volodymyr Zelensky pledged that Ukrainian forces would return to Lysychansk thanks to their tactics and "thanks to the increase in the supply of modern weapons".
Earlier, the head of Russia's Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, published video apparently showing Chechen fighters in the centre of Lysychansk.
