Russian troops fought street by street with Kyiv’s forces in a battle the mayor said has left the city “completely ruined” and driven tens of thousands from their homes.
After months of a devastating siege, the city of Mariupol is now in Russian hands as Moscow’s forces concentrate their attacks elsewhere.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military said Russian forces reinforced their positions on the northeastern and southeastern outskirts of Severodonetsk, 90 miles south of the Russian border in an area that is the last pocket of Ukrainian government control in Luhansk. The intensity of the latest fighting and the fact that Russia has poured troops in from their far east have come as a surprise to the Ukrainians, who are trying to hold out until more weapons can arrive, Zhdanov said.
“Russia clearly has been trying to take revenge for its past failures in Ukraine and achieve at least some of its goals,” Sunhurovskyi said. He said that “otherwise, if our cities come under attack, the Russian armed forces would fulfill their threat and strike the centers where such criminal decisions are made.”Russian pressure also continued in the south Monday. Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said an artillery strike on a shipyard in the southern port of Mykolaiv destroyed Ukrainian armored vehicles parked there.
