Ukraine Krieg – Situationsbericht Tag 118

By Jordi Bou

June 21, 2022 - Ukrainische Quellen bestätigen zum ersten Mal, dass russische Truppen im Osten die ganze Stadt Severodonetsk besetzt haben, mit Ausnahme des Azot Werks, in dem ukrainische Zivilisten Schutz gesucht haben. Diese Woche gibt es auch einen EU Gipfel, an dem über Kiews Beitritt zum Block entschieden wird.

The governor of the Luhansk region, Serhiy Gaidai, said Russian forces controlled most of the city, apart from the Azot chemical plant, where more than 500 civilians, including 38 children, have been sheltering for weeks. The road connecting Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk to the city of Bakhmut was under constant shell fire, he said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has predicted Russia would step up attacks ahead of the EU summit on Thursday and Friday, Reuters reports.

The war has entered a brutal attritional phase in recent weeks, with Russian forces concentrating on Ukrainian-controlled parts of the Donbas, which Russia claims on behalf of separatists.
