Oorlogssituatie Oekraïne – dag 105

By Jordi Bou

June 8, 2022 - Ukrainian forces are holding out Severodonetsk despite attacks from the Russians in three directions, UK intelligence says, as the battle for control of the Donbas region intensifies.

The days-long battle for the industrial city has emerged as pivotal, with Russia focusing its offensive might in the hope of achieving one of its stated aims – to fully capture surrounding Luhansk province on behalf of Russian-speaking separatists.

Meanwhile, more than a thousand fighters who surrendered after the fall of Mariupol have been transferred to Russia for “investigation”, according to Tass news agency reported on Tuesday, citing a Russian law enforcement source.

There are fears that their transfer for “investigation” could be the start of this process and the end of Ukrainian hopes that they will be returned through prisoner exchanges.
