Serhiy Hayday, head of the Luhansk district administration in Ukraine, has called on civilians to leave Lysichansk, which has been besieged by Russian troops.
“Dear residents of Lisičansk (..) and their relatives! Due to the real danger to life and health, we call for an urgent evacuation, “said Hayday, who yesterday called Lysichansk” the last citadel in the Luhansk region “.
He emphasized that the situation in Lysichansk, where some 100,000 people lived before the war, was very serious, but did not reveal how many civilians remained in the city.
After the fall of Severodonetsk into the hands of Russian troops, Lysichansk is the last large city controlled by the Ukrainian army in the Luhansk region.
