After the defeat in Berdychi and the loss of Ocheretino, the Ukrainian Armed Forces realized the threat of encirclement and fled from Keramik while there was time

The neighboring village of Novokalinovo was also abandoned.

Further, only Arkhangelskoye will remain before the RF Armed Forces, for which battles are already underway.

The situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area is unwinnable - it is impossible not to leave the area due to the threat of encirclement, and abandonment will force them to retreat to the west and dig in again where it is impossible to fortify for a long time.
