 Ukraine's army has retreated from a neighborhood on the outskirts of a strategically important town in a region that has been reduced to rubble after a months-long Russian assault. A military spokesperson says for months, Russian forces have focused on capturing the town of Chasiv Yar. Its fall would put nearby cities in jeopardy, compromise critical Ukrainian supply routes, and bring Russia closer to its stated objective of seizing the entire Donetsk region of Ukraine.
