IS Ukraine LOSING the war in Donbas? Defenders fall back to avoid capture as Russians advance after blasting towns to wastelands while Boris Johnson offers fresh support to Ukrainian president Zelensky Withdrawal from the Luhansk region likely, admits Ukraine in new war blow
Area is hugely significant and one of main aims of Putin and Russia's invasion President Zelensky said Ukraine was protecting Luhansk as best it could Putin had launched invasion under the aims of capturing Luhansk and Donetsk Boris Johnson offered renewed support for Ukraine in a phone call with Zelensky
Ukraine has admitted it may have to retreat from its last post in the Luhansk region as Russian forces continue their relentless march.
Putin's forces - now into their fourth month of the invasion - have concentrated on the east of the country in recent weeks.
Ukrainian soldiers leaving Luhansk will be a blow to the country, due to its symbolic significance in the war.
This morning Boris Johnson offered fresh support to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Zelensky said they spoke on the phone about 'strengthening defence support for Ukraine, intensifying work on security guarantees and supplying fuel'.
He added: 'We must work together to prevent a food crisis and unblock Ukrainian ports.'
Putin wants both Luhansk and Donetsk regions in full and their capture was one of his earliest objectives in the deranged despot's so-called 'special military operation'.

All you Putin-Rooskie fanbois should be doing your Puta dance today. Jump up and down and sideways, Putas.
Gasp! You mean the Daily Mail’s 3 month long daily propaganda blitz might be........BS?
Say it ain’t so!
Capturing area and holding area are two different animals.
So when it’s all over, Russia will control vast wastelands of a part of Ukraine’s territory? That’s a ‘victory’ that will take decades to repair. That’ a VINO, victory in name only.
I take it your rainbow flag is at half mast today.

“deranged despot”

Indeed they are - the more Ukrainians that are murdered, the more children that are abducted to Russia makes them delighted - Genocide is their thing, as long as Ukrainians and Ukrainians children are being slaughtered and abducted. The same thing happening to Jews would be bad, of course, and they would be all frowns, screams and mega rants.
Wars have ebbs and flows. Nothing out of the ordinary with this.
Every dictionary in the future will use Russia’s special operation as an example of what a “Phyric victory” is.
Gaining ground and keeping it are two different things. It can easily become the Russian version of a “tar baby*.
Time will tell.
“All you Putin-Rooskie fanbois should be doing your Puta dance today. Jump up and down and sideways, Putas.”
Correct, the liberation of Luhansk is nearly completed.
What is it with russians? Especially the ones here on FreeRepublic.
Does their country suck so bad that they have to make every other country around them hellhole?
I just don’t get the rational.
Why not spend some quality time with your own crappy country and try to make a tad better.
It’s almost like the entire country is just made it out of douchebags.
“deranged despot”
I saw that too. And note they didn’t provide any evidence of this.
So you’re OK with Zelensky/Ukraine being Biden’s long term agent for his money laundering schemes?
Or what’s historically called a “pyrrhic victory”
Falling back is the thing to do to avoid being encircled.
The Minsk agreement was a pretty fair deal but the US state dept. busted it up.
Now the Russians are enforcing those terms and there isn’t one damn thing anybody can do about it. Get used to it.
