Lysychansk and the neighboring cities fell really fast considering how long Ukraine could defend Sievierodonetsk. I wonder if Russia massively increased their forces there the last few days/weeks or If Ukraine just didn't try that much this time

I just hope Russia hasn't captured too many soldiers and equipment and that Ukrainians could fortify somewhere else very well.

Let's hope they won't reach Sloviansk and Kramatorsk too fast now. Behind that are only small villages for many miles.

I think it wouldn't really happen that fast unless the Ukrainians withdrew.

And I think Ukrainians had good reason to withdraw because of the risk of encirclement to avoid another Mariopol.

At least I hope that was the case.
