As per news report of BBC, Fierce fighting is taking place in the eastern city where Ukrainian officials said Russian artillery had driven its forces out of the centre. For weeks capturing Severodonetsk has been a top military goal for Russia. Taking Severodonetsk and the nearby city of Lysychansk would give Moscow control of the entire Luhansk region, much of which is already controlled by Russian-backed separatists. All three bridges into Severodonetsk were destroyed, Mr Haidai posted on Telegram. Those residents remaining in the city were being forced to survive in "extremely difficult conditions", he added.
