Russian Troops “Completely Cleared” From Ukraine

Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, has announced that a town in eastern Ukraine has been “completely cleared” of Russian troops. This is a significant development in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which began in 2014. Zelensky made the announcement during a visit to the town of Avdiivka, where he met with Ukrainian soldiers. He said that the withdrawal of Russian troops from the town is a “great victory” for Ukraine.

Volodymyr Ziensky, Ukraine’s president, declared Sunday that Lyman, a major town located in the region annexed from Russia, was “cleared.”

This is the latest development in Ukraine’s counteroffensive, which lasted for weeks against Moscow’s invasion. It comes as Russia moved forward with an annexation plan of the Ukrainian territories that it had captured, despite being condemned by Kyiv and Western countries.

The Ukrainian army captured Lyman, which Moscow’s forces have been trying for weeks to capture this spring. It is the first military victory that the Kremlin has claimed in the territory. They vow to defend it by all means.

Lyman is now cleared.Thanks to our military!In a social media video, President Zelensky spoke.

Moscow received a statement from Ukraine’s army stating that it had entered Lyman on Sat., prompting Moscow and other countries to announce their “withdrawal”, directing troops away from the town to “more favourable” lines.

Now, I am optimistic and very motivated. I see the activity in the front line, but how foreign weapons…help us take back our lands,” a 33year-old Ukrainian soldier, who used the nom de guerre Smoke, told AFP after returning home from Lyman.

Volodymyr Zilensky promised in a video address that he would retake more territory within the country’s eastern Donbass by the end of Saturday.

Russian court accepts annexation

Experts are warning that Russian losses are growing and that President Vladimir Putin could use nuclear weapons to defend the territory — an option that was offered by a Putin ally.

Ramzan Kadyrov of Chechnya said Saturday that Russia should think about using “low-yield” nuclear weapons after Moscow’s troops were expelled from Lyman.

Putin organized a huge Kremlin ceremony Friday to celebrate the annexed Ukrainian territory: Donetsk Kherson Lugansk and Zaporizhzhia.

Despite West condemnation Sunday, Russia’s Constitutional Court recognized as lawful the annexes signed by Putin along with the Moscow-backed leaders for the four Ukrainian territory.

According to VyacheslavVolodin, Duma speaker and Russia’s lower parliament, the State Duma on Monday will review the annexation treatsies.
