Severodonetsk celebrated City Day under storm/”Severodonetsk online”
All because of regular shelling by Russian invaders. As the head of the Luhansk police department Serhiy Gaidai said, at least 2 people were killed.
In addition, there are many wounded, about 60 houses were destroyed.
During continuous shelling, it is not always possible to quickly reach the places of new destruction and check them for the presence or absence of victims. Therefore, based on the daily growing number of damaged housing, there may be more deaths, – said Gaidai.
What is the situation in the Luhansk region
According to Gaidai, the situation is very aggravated. So, on May 28 in Lisichansk, a Russian shell hit a high-rise building. The girl died on the spot, four local residents were hospitalized with injuries of varying severity.
“It was a difficult time for the city – the Druzhba cinema was destroyed by an airstrike, 22 houses were damaged. The situation in Severodonetsk is even more difficult – the enemy is storming. The fighting continues to this day.
The fighting for Severodonetsk continues
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russian infidels, with the support of artillery, are trying to continue to conduct assault operations in the area of the city of Severodonetsk. The fighting is still ongoing. Gaidai said the day before that Russian infidels are no longer advancing in Severodonetsk, in the Luhansk region Moreover, the city is under the Ukrainian flag.Why is it important for the Russians to capture Severodonetsk
As Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the head of the President's Office, explained, there are several reasons for this, in particular:
- it is a large knot of Ukrainian defense. Therefore, its liquidation will only play into the hands of the Russian army;
- this is one of the extreme cities of the Lugansk region. After them, it will be possible to reach the borders of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Thus, to fulfill one of the “subtasks” of the Russian army – the capture of the entire Donbass and Luhansk region.
True, the territory of the Donetsk region is still quite large. And if the infidels continue to advance at such a pace, when they spend a month and a half on one city, then they have not so many opportunities to capture the Donbass. Indeed, according to Arestovich, during the capture of Popasnaya, the Russian army lost from 60% to 80% of the personnel and equipment that went to capture the city. For infidels, the capture of Severodonetsk will be the second big success after the capture of Mariupol.
