Ukrainian soldiers leave Vugledar
OSUV "Khortytsia" emphasizes that the Russian occupiers suffered large-scale losses against the background of long battles for the city, but did not stop trying to capture it.
In an effort to take control of the city at any cost, the enemy managed to direct reserves to carry out flanking attacks, which exhausted the defense of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result of the enemy's actions, the encirclement of the city was threatened.
That is why the higher command has given permission to carry out a maneuver to withdraw units from Ugledar with the aim of preserving personnel and combat equipment, as well as occupying new positions for further actions.
