Russia intensifies its attacks and relentlessly advances on the Lugansk region of Donbas

Russia has intensified its offensive on Tuesday against the last pockets of resistance in the Ukrainian region of Lugansk, in the Donbas basin (east).

Russian troops try to surround the neighboring cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has reported fierce fighting very close to these two cities (about 100 km northwest of Lugansk), in the towns of Popasna and Bakhmut.

Although the bombardments are constant, many inhabitants refuse to leave.

"People don't want to leave," laments the deputy mayor of Bajmut, Maxim Sutkoviy, before a half-empty bus planned to keep civilians away from the fighting.

Those who remain suffer a daily routine of missile fire and shelling from dawn to noon.

Severodonetsk, on the other hand, is bombed "24 hours a day" by the Russians, who "use the scorched earth tactic," Lugansk governor Sergei Gaidai said, reporting four deaths in a bombardment.
