Russia has left the Ukrainian town of Robotyne, according to the Russian appointed official Yevgeny Balitsky, according to Reuters.
“The Russian army has left – tactically left – this place because it doesn’t make sense to stay on bare ground where you can’t dig in,” the official is reported to have told Russian media channel RBC.
“That is why the Russian army has moved to the mountains”.
