On Sunday, July 3, there were data from the Ministry of Defense of Russia that the troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were completely blocked in the pocket of Lisichansk. Over the past two days, 38 military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have surrendered in this area. Most of them are “local residents forcibly mobilized into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”

Earlier, Lieutenant Colonel of the People’s Militia of the LPR Andriy Marochko also said that in Lysychansk there are still local centers of resistance of the siloviki of Ukraine, but they are insignificant. He added that “the nationalists have completely lost their combat capability and lost control” in the city.

The fact that Lisichansk was taken under the control of the Allied forces became known on Saturday, July 2. As the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov noted, Akhmat, together with the LPR People’s Militia, is clearing the city from the Ukrainian military, “hiding in buildings, and from mine-explosive devices.”

On February 24, the beginning of a special operation in the Donbass was announced. Thus, Russia responded to requests for military assistance from the heads of the DPR and LPR.
