Advisor to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak commented on the temporary withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from their positions in Lysichansk. According to him, such a decision will serve the correct return of Donbass in the future.. Podolyak spoke about this during an interview with Bild..

The reason for the withdrawal was that the Russians today, when artillery duels are at the front, have a multiple advantage in long-range artillery, which is the cause of 90% of losses.

Podolyak noted that Ukraine's quality of command and control and operations planning is much higher than that of Russia. He is sure that as soon as the Armed Forces of Ukraine reach relative parity in armament, the occupiers will be able to be driven out of the occupied territories..

" We want to fight with quality.

We are minimizing losses, and the issue of temporary retreat from Lisichansk and Luhansk region is not a matter of losing Donbass, but a question of the correct return of Donbass,"

Recall that yesterday Russian troops were defeated when they tried to advance from the Luhansk region to the Donetsk region and cut the Bakhmut-Lysichansk highway passing by Belogorovka. According to the head of the UVA, Sergei Gaidai, the occupiers are gradually affected by the untimely delivery of ammunition due to the destruction of several warehouses in the occupied territories by the Armed Forces of Ukraine over the past two weeks..
