Zelensky said Ukraine could reclaim Severodonetsk but that conditions have worsened for fighters defending the key city.
More than 100 days into the war, Ukrainian and Russian troops remain mired in heated combat for Severodonetsk, the Luhansk area’s largest city where Kyiv still retains some control. The Ukrainian military said Monday that it had prevented Russia from seizing a strategic highway in the region, but the fight within Severodonetsk has worsened for the defenders, local officials said.
The Washington-based Institute for the Study of War wrote in its Monday battlefield report that Moscow is likely to have control over most of Severodonetsk. But it is difficult to determine precise lines of control in urban warfare, the ISW cautioned.Russia has shelled a humanitarian aid facility in Lysychansk, a city separated from Severodonetsk by a river.
