Battle for Ukraine's Sievierodonetsk ebbs and flows

Which side had the upper hand was unclear as the hours passed. Russian forces had the numerical advantage but Ukraine had"every chance" to fight back, President Voldymyr Zelenskiy said after a regional official suggested Kyiv had lost ground.

"Our defenders managed to undertake a counter-attack for a certain time, they liberated almost half of the city. But now the situation has worsened a little for us again," Mr Gaidai said. Russia says it is on a mission to"liberate" the Donbas after Ukraine pushed its troops back from the capital Kyiv and Ukraine's second biggest city Kharkiv in the war's early stages.

Mr Zelenskiy said he had travelled to Lysychansk, south of Sievierodonetsk, and Soledar - rare outings for him outside of Kyiv since the start of the Russian invasion on 24 February. The British move was coordinated with the United States, which last week pledged to supply Kyiv with advanced rocket systems.

Ukraine said the strike hit a railcar repair works, while Moscow said it had destroyed tanks sentby Eastern European countries to Ukraine.

Putin in 100 days has reduced large parts of the Donbas to rubble...This is the ethnic Russian part of Ukraine he controlled before the war.. Is Putin really the master strategist?

Russia says it destroyed tanks in Kyiv sent by European countries — RIAUkrainian forces counterattack in contested city of Sievierodonetsk What’s the point in reporting Russian claims, they told us the wouldn’t invade, in fact they said they hadn’t invaded after they clearly had. Such reports need to be taken with a pinch of salt. No doubt sometimes the Russians succeed. But Lithuania paid Turkey for a drone to be supplied to Ukraine which Russia claimed immediately to have destroyed...even though it turned out still to be in manufacture.
