Intense fighting continued on Wednesday in Severodonetsk, in which Moscow claims to have taken control of residential areas, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praised the “heroic” defense of this important city in Donbass. The Russians claim to have “completely liberated” the residential areas of this strategic city for control of the entire Donbass coalfields in eastern Ukraine. “It continues to acquire its industrial zone and neighboring areas,” Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told a rare television conference on Tuesday.

An inventory disputed by kyiv. “Our troops were able to repel the attack in Severodonetsk,” Ukrainian civil servants promised Wednesday morning, saying Russia was also intensifying its operations in Bakhmout in the Donetsk region. “Severodonetsk is very difficult to run”, however, was approved the day before by the governor of the Lukansk region, Sergei Keitoi, who formed the Donbass with Donetsk. Mr. Keitai even speaks of “mission impossible”. “All forces and all reserves are mobilized by the enemy Russian army, who must cut off the main Lyczynsk-Bakmut road in order to capture Severodonetsk. They shell very violently on Lyczynsk,” the governor said.
