Separately, on Sunday, the head of Kyiv-controlled Lugansk regional administration, said a train would be organised to evacuate women, children and the elderly from Lysychansk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lysychansk is near the frontline between Ukrainian forces and Moscow-backed separatists, who are fighting to link up with the Russian forces and control the entire southeast. &#8220;You need to reach Lysychansk station on your own. Women with children are boarding first, then women under 40, women, the elderly,&#8221; Sergiy Gaiday wrote on Telegram.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If Russian forces succeed in capturing Mariupol which held out against rebel forces in the previous 2014 conflict, they will control Ukraine&#8217;s entire Azov Sea coast. This would give them a landbridge from Russia to Russian-annexed Crimea and an important supply route and port if they decide to push north in a bid to take all of eastern Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AGENCY &#8211;
