“The purpose of the withdrawal is to save the lives of our soldiers, who are now responsible for the defense of this city. The situation in Severodonetsk is reminiscent of the situation in Rubezhnoye, which was practically wiped off the face of the earth by Russian bombs and Russian shells, and to keep it, although it is destroyed by more than 90%, does not really make much sense, “said Starsky.
According to him, the withdrawal operation lasted several days, and the departure to the fortified positions will help the Armed Forces in the future.

“If we move to more fortified positions in the same Lysychansk, which is more strategically important from a military point of view, then in the future we will be able to develop a more effective counterattack, because the Russians who will hold Severodonetsk will be in the same the situation we were in, ”he explained.
