May 25, 2022 - The eastern region of Donbas is under increasingly heavy attack, as Russian forces seek to take control of the twin cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk in order to place the whole of the Luhansk region under Russian occupation.
The Donbas fighting follows Russia's biggest victory in months: the surrender last week of Ukraine's garrison in the port of Mariupol after a siege in which Kyiv believes tens of thousands of civilians were killed.
In a sign of Ukrainian success elsewhere, authorities in its second-largest city, Kharkiv, re-opened the underground metro, where thousands of civilians had sheltered for months under relentless bombardment.
