Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov on Saturday confirmed that the Army had pulled forces out of Balakliya and Izyum, after a decision to “regroup” and transfer them toward the regional capital of Donetsk in the south “in order to achieve the goals of the special military operation.”
