Ukraine has begun withdrawing its forces from Severodonetsk
as Russian forces take over the region.
The withdrawal operation is expected to last a few days as
the head of the Severodonetsk district military administration, Roman Vlasenko
told CNN.
“As of now, the Ukrainian military still remains in
Severodonetsk,” Vlasenko said on Friday. “They are being withdrawn from the
city at the moment. It started yesterday.
“There are a lot of units there, so I think the withdrawal
will take a few days,” he added, without specifying where they were withdrawing
to.
Vlasenko went on to say that 568 civilians were also in the
city, inside the Azot plant.
“They will be able to get out as soon as the shelling is
over, but to the occupied territory,” he added.
