Reuters: Ukrainian troops may pull back from Lysychansk front line to avoid encirclement -governor
KYIV (Reuters) -Ukrainian troops may need to pull back from the key frontline city of Lysychansk to avoid being encircled after Russian forces captured two villages to its south, regional governor Serhiy Gaidai said on Thursday.
