About 800 Ukrainian soldiers, civilians and even children are reportedly hiding in a factory in eastern Ukraine, as the city is already 80% occupied by Russian forces, writes the British Metro.
Ukrainian soldiers have vowed to fight “to the end” in Sievierodonestsk as the Kremlin’s war on Kiev reaches its 100th day.
The city in the eastern Luhansk region, has so far suffered about 1,500 victims from military attacks, lack of food and medicine, write western reports.
The main road leading to Sievierodonestsk is under the control of Kiev forces.
But Russia continues to make steady advances that are enabled by the large concentration of artillery, according to the British Ministry of Defense.
The head of Luhansk’s military administration, Serhiy Gaidai, said at least 800 people were hiding in the shelters of the Soviet-era ‘Nitrogen’ chemical plant.
“There are locals who refused to leave the city, there are children but not many,” he added.
The attacks started from inside, east and northeast of the city.
Taking control of Sievierodonestsk would give the Russian despot Vladimir Putin control of the entire Luhansk region.
Kremlin troops already control 20% of Ukraine, Zelenski said yesterday, as some 7 million people have fled as refugees to Europe.
Zelenski added that about 100 die every day in combat and about 500 are injured.
