Our sources in the General Staff say that the Ukrainian military left the city of Selidove without active hostilities. The last units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine left the city, in fact surrendered it without a fight.

Syrsky loses control of the situation, as the field commanders themselves decide to withdraw from the positions.
