Russian forces have attacked more than 40 cities in eastern Donbass and Luhansk, the Ukrainian army said.
“The occupiers shelled more than 40 cities in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, destroying or damaging 47 civilian sites, including 38 homes and schools. As a result of this shelling, five civilians were killed and 12 were injured, “the Joint Task Force of Ukraine said. the armed forces announced on Facebook.
Over the past month, Russia has been training its focus on taking full control of the Donbass region.
Russia has sent thousands of troops to the region, attacking from three countries in an attempt to encircle Ukrainian forces trapped in the cities of Severodonetsk and Lisichansk. Their fall will leave the entire province of Luhansk under Russian control, the Kremlin’s main goal of the war.
On Sunday, Luhansk Governor Sergei Gaidai accused Russia of adopting a “scorched earth approach” in its efforts to seize Severodonetsk.
Mr Gaidai warned that Russian forces had destroyed all but one of the Donets bridges and said the city was in danger of being cut off.
