Por que importa
The incomplete evacuation indicates possible personnel losses, although their number has not been disclosed. Lysivka's position was strategically important because it blocked the main road between Selydove and Pokrovsk, which Russian forces attempted to traverse daily. Holding the settlement also helped Ukrainian forces align the front line, establish the next defense echelon, and relocate a unit. The accumulation of Russian drone forces created an area of sustained fire that made logistics to Lysivka nearly impossible.
