Joint Ukrainian forces managed to regain control over several settlements for a while but were forced to retreat on June 25, as reported by Ukrainian officials. The withdrawal was caused by the russian tactics of full artillery obliteration of cities.
About 90% of the city's buildings were ruined to the ground, according to local administration official Serhii Haidai.
