Russia tightens grip on key cities as battle for Donbas rages theSun theSundaily Ukraine Russia Donbas PutinWarCrimes

A Ukrainian serviceman rides atop a tank near a frontline, as Russia’s invasion on Ukraine continues, in Donetsk Region, Ukraine May 28, 2022. REUTERSPIX: The battle for control of the eastern Ukrainian region of Donbas raged on Sunday as Russian forces tightened their grip around the key cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk.

Meanwhile, on the eastern bank of the Donets river, Russian forces “carried out assault operations in the area of the city of Severodonetsk,“ according to the Ukrainian general staff.More than three months after Moscow invaded its pro-Western neighbour, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called for “direct serious negotiations” between Russian leader Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky.

Earlier, Russia’s defence ministry had said the “town of Krasny Liman has been entirely liberated from Ukrainian nationalists.” The water supply was also increasingly unstable, as a lack of electricity meant the pumps at city wells no longer functioned, he said.Governor Gaiday said the sole road link to the outside world was expected to be the focus of continued Russian attacks.

“Russia is ready to help find options for the unhindered export of grain, including the export of Ukrainian grain from the Black Sea ports,“ the Kremlin quoted him as saying. On Sunday, the Russian defence ministry said it had destroyed a Ukrainian armed forces arsenal in the southeastern city of Kryvyi Rih with “long-range high-precision missiles”.
