Russian forces advance and Ukrainian troops suffer extremely heavy losses on the Donbass front. They claim that they no longer have sufficient weapons. Update with journalist Agnès Vahramian, special correspondent in Siversk, Sunday July 3.
The Russians continue their advance in the Donbass, Sunday July 3. “Within two days, the Russian forces advanced. This village of Siversk (Ukraine) is now within range of their cannon“, reports Agnès Vahramian, special correspondent in Siversk, who indicates that a “mortar fire hit the city” during the day.
“Russian media also publish images of their troops who are in Lysychansk (Ukraine), the big city which is a few tens of kilometers from here. All the Ukrainian soldiers we met on this road retreated, they did it at night, and sometimes at a very high price.“, continues the journalist. A brigade of 800 men thus suffered 700 human losses in just 15 days, in the battle of Lyssytchansk. Three quarters of the territory of Donbass are now under Russian control.
