Ukraine reclaims part of Severodonetsk taken by Russia

June 4 (UPI) -- Ukraine has reclaimed part of Severodonetsk, the regional governor said, as fighting continues in the more than 100-day war with Russia.

 

Regional Gov. Serhiy Haidai said late Friday that Ukraine has reclaimed about 20% of the city of Severodonetsk, an industrial center in the embattled Luhansk region and critical city in Russia's plan to capture Ukraine's eastern Donbas region.

 

Moscow had captured the majority of the city of Severodonetsk on Thursday, the day before the Russia-Ukraine war hit its 100-day mark, according to a British military report.

 

Around 70% of Severodonetsk was captured, but Ukrainian forces recaptured around 20%, so Ukraine now controls around half of the city of Severodonetsk, the head of Luhansk's regional military administration said.
