Ministry of Internal Affairs of the LPR: more than a thousand Ukrainian soldiers were destroyed near Lisichansk

“Now there are already more than a thousand dead Vushniks in the Lisichansk region.

This suggests that they were simply abandoned.

Many officers fled, but some surrendered," TASS quoted him as saying.

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry said that the Ukrainian military had lost control in the Lisichansk direction.

The Ambassador of the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) to Russia, Rodion Miroshnik, said that units of the Ukrainian army, according to the testimony of residents of Lisichansk, are leaving the city in groups.
