Residents of the area say they are seeing the beginning of the withdrawal of Ukrainian armed formations from Lysichansk.

12 mercenaries captured in Lisichansk
More than 10 foreign mercenaries have reportedly been captured near Lisichansk.
Lugansk forces arrested more than 10 foreign mercenaries near Lisichansk trying to escape the besieged city. This was reported by Russian media, citing Lugansk Deputy Assistant Interior Minister Vitaly Kiselev.
"We caught 12 people near Lisichansk of different nationalities, different countries. "In the near future, I will tell you exactly how many of them and from which countries these mercenaries are," says Kiselev.
The captured mercenaries also reportedly took part in the battles in Rubizhne and Severodonetsk.
Kiselev noted that foreign mercenaries, according to the Geneva Convention, are not entitled to the status of a fighter or a prisoner of war.
The Russian army killed 14 mercenaries
The Russian Defense Ministry said that the Ukrainian administration is trying to stop the chaotic flight of Ukrainian military units in the Lisichansk region.
According to the Russian YPAM:
In order to retain the personnel of the first battalion of the 72nd Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of the settlement Volcheyarovka, a "detachment" of the Nazi formation "Right Sector" was sent to these positions.
This unit was destroyed by Russian artillery.
Control of Ukrainian troops in the direction of Lysychansk is lost.
The commander of the 115th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost control of his units, which led to the irreparable loss of 80% of the personnel and about 70% of the equipment of the 138th Battalion of this brigade during the battles.
On June 26, during the fighting, 3 km from the Lisichansk oil refinery, Russian units destroyed two groups of mercenaries carrying out a sabotage and reconnaissance operation with a total of 14 soldiers.
The first group was "international" and consisted of citizens of various European countries. The second - included only mercenaries from Georgia, who were part of the so-called "Georgian Legion".
In the ranks of this formation fight mainly criminals.
The killed Georgian fighters are involved in the brutal torture and killing of Russian soldiers near Kyiv in March this year.
"The Russian Ministry of Defense has information about every mercenary involved in the abuse and killing of our soldiers. "We found them and punished them," said Defense Ministry spokesman Lt. Gen. Igor Konashenkov.
