Ukrainian forces have regained around 20% of the land they lost in the city of Severodonetsk amid combat with Russia, said the head of the eastern province of Luhansk.
"Whereas before the situation was difficult, the percentage (held by Russia) was somewhere around 70%, now we have already pushed them back by approximately 20%," Serhiy Gaidai told national television, Reuters reported.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reaffirmed Russia's bombardment of Severodonetsk is "madness" due to the presence of a large-scale chemical facility in the city.
“Given the presence of large-scale chemical production in Severodonetsk, the Russian army’s strikes there, including blind air bombing, are just madness,” Zelenskyy said.
Meanwhile, the UK defense ministry said in its report that the main road into the Severodonetsk pocket is most likely still under Ukrainian hands, Russia is making steady local victories owing to a high concentration of artillery.
