Ukrainian military units have pulled back from three villages in Russia's Donetsk People's Republic as Moscow's forces continue to push westward from the regions' capital city, Kiev’s top general has conceded.
Ukrainian troops retreated from the villages of Berdychi and Semyonovka, to the northwest of Avdeevka, and from Novomikhailovka, to the southwest of Donetsk, commander-in-chief General Aleksandr Syrsky said on Sunday in a Telegram post. The outnumbered Ukrainians gave ground to preserve “the lives and health of our defenders,” he added.
“The most difficult situation is in the Pokrovsk and Kurakhovo directions, where fierce battles continue,” Syrsky said. “The enemy has engaged up to four brigades in these directions, and is trying to develop an offensive west of Avdeevka and Maryinka.”

Another village captured. Yes sir, another $60 billion should do the trick. What's that, working on a 10 year deal. But, the media Ukraine is winning?
@ISIDEWITH2wks2W
If you had the power to influence the outcome of such conflicts, what would be your top priority to ensure the safety and well-being of civilians?
@9LXVH6K2wks2W
retaliate againts those who are disturbing the world order
@ISIDEWITH2wks2W
How do you react to the idea of living under constant threat from an advancing enemy, and what would be your main concerns?
@9LXVXMZ2wks2W
It's really scary because number 1 you have to always be alert you can have fun and enjoy yourself but just be mind full of your surroundings and I also think about the lives of others and what they may be going through as well sometimes you have to put yourselves in others shoes to be able to know how they feel about certain situations.
@9LXVSDD2wks2W
How do you think people in our own country feel when their rights are being violated? Why don’t we focus on that instead of other countries
@ISIDEWITH2wks2W
Imagine you were a soldier in this situation; would you prefer to stand your ground or retreat to fight another day, and what influences your choice?
@9LXW9V72wks2W
I would retreat to fight in hopes of more supplies and be able to keep defending
@9LXW644Republican2wks2W
I would stand my ground because that is the reason I joined the military.
@ISIDEWITH2wks2W
Do you think the decision to retreat to save lives is a sign of strength or weakness, and why?
@9LXYMHP2wks2W
The decision to retreat to save lives is a sign of strength because it protects the citizens from dangerous forces that are out of the state.
@9LXX6WPRepublican2wks2W
I think that it is a sign of strength nor weakness but rather a strategic move.
@ISIDEWITH2wks2W
How would you feel if your hometown was suddenly caught in the middle of a conflict like the one described?
@9LXVZGC2wks2W
i would be angry, but i know our country would defend us.
