Russia has claimed to have captured the city of Lysychansk, completing its control of Luhansk Oblast, one of the two provinces that make up the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Sunday that Russian forces had captured Lysychansk, after weeks of fighting. The city is the last major urban center in Luhansk Oblast still under Ukrainian control.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that the war is not over, even as Russia claims victory in Luhansk. Zelenskyy said that Ukrainian forces are still fighting in the neighboring province of Donetsk, and that they will continue to fight until Russia withdraws its forces from all of Ukraine.

The capture of Lysychansk is a major victory for Russia, and it brings them one step closer to their goal of controlling the entire Donbas region. However, the war is still far from over, and it is unclear how long Russian forces will be able to sustain their momentum.

The capture of Lysychansk is also a major setback for Ukraine. The city was a major strategic and symbolic prize, and its loss will be a blow to Ukrainian morale. However, Ukraine has shown that it is capable of adapting and fighting back, and it is likely that they will continue to resist Russian forces in Donetsk.

The war in Ukraine is entering its fifth month, and there is no end in sight. The fighting has caused widespread devastation, and millions of people have been displaced from their homes. The war has also had a significant impact on the global economy, causing energy prices to rise and disrupting supply chains.

It is unclear how long the war will last, but it is clear that it will have a lasting impact on Ukraine, Russia, and the world.
