OEKRAINE

Oorlogssituatie Oekraïne – dag 92

By Jordi Bou

May 26, 2022 - Russia shelled more than 40 towns in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region, as Moscow’s forces sought to surround Ukrainian forces, outnumbering them in some places, Reuters reports.

Russia has poured thousands of troops into the region, attacking from three sides in an attempt to encircle Ukrainian forces holding out in the city of Severodonetsk and its twin, Lysychansk. Their fall would leave the whole of Luhansk province under Russian control, a main Kremlin war aim.

As Russia seeks to solidify its grip on the territory it has seized, President Vladimir Putin signed a decree simplifying the process for residents of newly captured districts to acquire Russian citizenship and passports.
