I mean, it makes a Ukrainian offensive in that area (i.e. anywhere in the direction of Volnovakha and Mariupol) significantly more difficult. Not that that was in the cards anyway, but still
It was a major strategic town, similar to Avdiivka. We can only hope that another post-Avdiivka collapse doesn’t happen here, too.
