Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed to "win back" the eastern region of Luhansk after troops were withdrawn to save lives.

A Ukrainian army general confirmed the final troops remaining in the city of Lysychansk were pulled back, hours after Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said his forces had captured it and taken full control of Luhansk region.

In his late night address to the people of Ukraine, President Zelensky said it was a necessary move to pull troops from the city for "people to be taken care of, above all."

  • He could not win it back when the separatist militias were defending Luhansk, and now he says that he will win it back. That was a very good joke. Like Lavrov said about Zelensky, "He says many things, depending of what he drinks, or what he smokes."

    Make up your mind already, one day Russia is weak , the very next itโ€™s help Russiaโ€™s power is overwhelming.. which is it ๐Ÿ˜‚
  • Judging from the BBC's previous reportings, one almost assumed that the whole russian army has been destroyed.

    Since the West started sending more and more weaponry, Ukraine started losing more and more territory in shorter and shorter period.

    I thought the BBC said Ukraine hadn't lost Luhansk only yesterday ... then again they did say Jimmy Saville was an upstanding model citizen
