in the Donbass, the city of Severodonetsk massively bombarded

Russia is stepping up its offensive in the Donbass on Tuesday, May 24. The Kremlin army relentlessly pounded the Ukrainian positions, leaving no moment of respite to its adversaries, who seemed powerless. If the Russians already occupy the vast majority of Donbassthey are now concentrating all their efforts to seize the area around Severodonetsk (Ukraine). The city is bombarded day and night.

Unrecognizable, Severodonetsk seems already lost. The Ukrainian soldiers had to retreat. In their retreat, they mined the bridges, a last ditch attempt to halt the enemy advance. The airstrikes continue. 10 km west of Severodonetsk, an oil refinery was badly hit. In neighboring towns, many buildings were destroyed and residents were killed. “They may manage to take our territory, but (…) we will never sing the Russian anthem. It’s impossible“, says a Ukrainian. According to kyiv12,500 Russian soldiers would be engaged in the attack in the heart of the Donbass.
