Russia says it has taken the whole of the eastern region of Luhansk in Ukraine.

But Ukraine has denied its forces have been driven from the city of Lysychansk.

Victory would mean Russia was a step closer to taking the whole Donbas region.

  • Even the British media cannot lie anymore: the Russian army, unequipped, demoralized, continues its shameful retreat toward Kiev. The strong, determined Ukrainian forces keep pushing Russians, and soon will reach Poland!
  • Boris Johnson claimed that Russia is running out of missiles.
  • Day by day, the Ukranian great army victoriously marches upon Kiev!
  • Breaking: Russian troops seized another city with bare hands, as they ran out of weapons 3 months ago according to British media
  • The last I heard the analyst said thay lyschansk is located atop an elevated position thus the russian wouldnt be able to crack it for weeks even months. It is quite baffling and honestly terrifying to see it fell in a few days after severodonetsk. It makes me curious of the true state of this conflict and ukraine's real military situation.
  • So in summary, nothing has changed. The Russians are still retreating “forwards” with their tails between their legs as the Ukrainians bravely advance “backwards”.
  • @toto-yf8tc
    Azovstal was an evacuation and now it is a strategic move. Remind me of German news of 1943. Great coverage by the UK media
  • The Russian army is the only one in history that lost by gaining more and more ground while beating the opponent without ammo, missiles, fuel and generals.
  • Well done Ukrainian army, always capable of making "strategically important decisions" to withdraw.
  • @vinnierex2
    It's amazing hearing Sky trying to spin this
  • if the Russian are winning territory in summer imagine what will be in winter.
  • I taught they said Russia was losing??🤣🤣. They even said that Russia was running out of ammunition, weapons, soldiers, they even say moral is low among the Russian forces yet Russia is still advancing?? How 🤷??
  • @MGZetta
    I admire how the Ukrainian army always do "strategically important decisions" all the time. The most strategically important army today. Well done.
  • In Ukraine, national defense soldiers don't go to frontlines. The frontlines come to them
  • @coachking5208
    This is so confusing. The soldiers talk of Russians having 20 to 1 tanks... But what happened to the thousands of special anti-tank weapons and drones which was wiping out Russian Armour :( This Alex woman and Sky News are completely delusional.
  • The capture of this city is historic. So-called Western experts claimed it would take Russia more months before they could capture the city because it's well fortified and on the hill. I think Zelensky still can't comprehend how the Russians were able to cross the river which was their main problem. To take a major city under 24hrs is record breaking and hasn't been done anywhere before. It seems it was possible because there were no steel bunkers where Ukranians could hide under and claim to be resisting or control . Bunkers seem to be the center of Ukranian resistance. This became an open battle and the Russians showed why they're superior army.
  • The unstoppable Ukrainian military is actively charging and advancing towards Kieve. At this rate, I think the comedian will capture it.
