 Pro-Russian separatists are said to have surrounded Ukrainian soldiers in the two cities of Zolote and Gorskoye in Lugansk province, when the war in the east entered the climax.


According to the Zenger news agency , the leader of the Chenya Republic (Russia) Ramzan Kadyrov said on June 23: "According to a reliable source, the enemy ( Ukrainian military forces ) has been surrounded between the city of Zolote and Gorskoye All routes of retreat are closed. The situation of the Ukrainian fighters is very fragile. The Russian and allied troops have put heavy pressure on the Ukrainian forces and it is clear that the enemy has suffered heavy losses. about people".


Chechnya leaders said that Ukrainian soldiers and foreign mercenaries now have only two options: surrender or withdraw. The above information has not been independently verified.


The war between Russia and Ukraine in the Donbass region (including Lugansk and Donetsk regions) in the east is entering a "frightening climax". Russia has the upper hand by overwhelming its troops and firepower. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian army was in a dilemma, either to continue fighting and face the danger of being encircled, or to retreat and lose the last lines of defense.


Speaking on television on June 24, Lugansk Governor Serhiy Haidai said that Ukrainian troops will have to withdraw from Severodonetsk, a strategic city that is considered one of the last stops preventing Russia from taking full control of Lugansk province. It doesn't make sense to stay at the destroyed sites for months, he explained, just to be there.


"Unfortunately, we will have to move our forces out of Severodonetsk because it is unreasonable to stay in the destroyed positions, the number of casualties is increasing," Haidai said. The official added that 90% of houses in Severodonetsk were damaged or destroyed.


Earlier, Haidai also said that Ukrainian troops may have to withdraw from Lysychansk, a city nearby Severodonetsk. "To avoid encirclement, our command can order the withdrawal of troops to a new position. All of Lysychansk is within enemy fire. Staying in the city will be very dangerous," Mr. Haidai emphasized. strong.


Severodonetsk and the neighboring Lysychansk region are currently the only two major cities in the Donbass that Kiev controls in part. The situation here is said to be able to decide the outcome of the Donbass war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky admitted that the Ukrainian army suffered "painful" losses in the Donbass. Even so, Kiev hopes to turn the tide when the West accelerates its aid to the country. Kiev also claims to never give in to territory.


Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have so far been deadlocked. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on June 23 that any peace agreement can only take place after Ukraine "meets all the demands of the Russian side".


That was Peskov's response when asked about comments published in the National Interest last week about the 15-point peace plan. The article listed a number of scenarios, including Ukraine's commitment to permanent neutrality, Russia's withdrawal to pre-conflict positions, and Moscow's support for Kiev's desire to join the EU. The plan also calls for Ukraine to recognize Crimea as part of Russia and reduce its ground forces to no more than 150,000 active troops.
