Military theatre
Day 56 and day 96
Sievierodonetsk
Russia has steady progress in Sievierodonetsk in hard urban combat. Nearly all forces avaliable are being thrown in. At the same time, Ukrainian units keep fighting in the streets, but many also retreat to Lysychansk the main defense point on a higher ground.
The regional governor of Luhansk has told that at least 70% of Severodonetsk is now under Russian control but the fighting is ongoing. This morning that figure was said to be 50%. Highly likely that the Ukrainians are conducting a fighting retreat from Severodonetsk right now.
