“The city of Seversk is completely under our operational control.

Fights go for the settlement and in its environs.

There is a very intense shelling from the direction of Kramatorsk by artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Seversk,” he said.

Earlier, on Channel One, Kiselyov said that Seversk was under the control of the LNR forces.

On July 15, Andrey Marochko, an officer of the People's Militia of the LPR, reported that almost all the escape routes of Ukrainian troops from the cities of Soledar and Seversk were in the zone of fire damage.

As stated in the Ministry of Defense, the Russian army almost completely destroyed the 115th brigade of the Ukrainian army, which operated in the Seversk direction.
