Oekraïne trekt zich terug uit delen van Chasiv Yar nu Rusland oprukt

July 5, 2024 - Ukraine’s army has retreated from a neighbourhood in the outskirts of Chasiv Yar, as Russia gets closer to seizing the strategically important town.

Chasiv Yar is a short distance west of Bakhmut, which was captured by Russia last year after a bitter 10-month battle. For months, Russian forces have focused on capturing Chasiv Yar, a town which occupies an elevated location. Its fall would put nearby cities in jeopardy, compromise critical Ukrainian supply routes and bring Russia closer to its stated aim of seizing the entire Donetsk region, AP said.
