Heavy fighting in eastern Ukraine

Ukrainian sources reported that Russian forces in the Donbass region, eastern Ukraine, are continuing attempts to fully capture the Luhansk region.

"The enemy is not stopping its offensive," the Ukrainian General Staff said in a statement on Tuesday morning.

She noted, in particular, that there are attempts to encircle the strategically important cities of Severodonetsk and Lysechhansk.

Meanwhile, Russian forces incurred heavy casualties near Severodonetsk, according to the statement.

It was not possible to verify this information from an independent source.

Three months into the war on Ukraine, the Russian military is focusing its attacks on eastern Ukraine primarily.

Especially after the fall of the port of Mariupol a few days ago, Ukraine now fears more Russian attacks there.
