In the wake of a series of setbacks in the 3-month-old war, Russia set its sights on the industrial Donbas region of coal mines and factories, where Moscow-backed separatists have been fighting Ukrainian troops for years and where they already held swaths of territory before the invasion. Separately Thursday, Russia's Defense Ministry said it used air-launched missiles against a Ukrainian military base in the Zhytomyr region, to the west of Kyiv, alleging that mercenaries were being trained there.
Late Wednesday, Zelenskyy called the painstaking, inch-by-inch fight for Sievierodonetsk the "epicenter" of the battle for the Donbas and perhaps one of the most difficult battles of the war. The city is one of the last yet to be taken by the Russians in Luhansk, one of the two regions that make up the Donbas.
They are also targeting the neighboring city of Lysychansk with "day and night shelling," as well as trying to storm the key road connecting Lysychansk and Bakhmut to the southwest, he said.
