Ukraine’s eastern military command said it ordered a pullback from the hilltop coal mining town to avoid encirclement by Russian troops and ‘preserve personnel and military equipment’
Russia n troops on Wednesday took charge of the eastern Ukrainian town of Vuhledar , a bastion that had resisted intense attacks since Russia launched its full-scale assault in 2022.
The Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper said the last Ukrainian forces from the 72nd Mechanized Brigade, a unit famous for its resistance, had abandoned the town late on Tuesday. Since Russia sent its army into Ukraine in February 2022, the war has largely been a story of grinding artillery and drone strikes along a heavily fortified 1,000-km front involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
