Ukrainian defences are "holding" in the flashpoint eastern city of Severodonetsk despite attacks in three directions from Russian – however Russia have drawn closer to capturing Ukraine’s Donbas region

 

Russia has drawn closer to its goal of fully capturing Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland as the Kremlin claimed it has taken control of 97% of one of the two provinces that make up the Donbas region.

 

Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu said Moscow’s forces hold nearly all of Luhansk province.

 

It also appears that Russia now occupies roughly half of Donetsk province, according to Ukrainian officials and military analysts.

It is like the Battle of the Bulge all over again. Vlad the Impaler's last, desperate push forward. Have Russia's T64 tanks managed to get there yet?
