Russian forces seize frontline Donbas village: Ukrainian official

Al Jazeera  

Head of the Severodonetsk district military administration says Toshkivka is now ‘controlled entirely by the Russians’. Russian forces have pushed deeper into eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region, with Ukrainian officials announcing the fall of a front-line village near the strategically important cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk. Russian forces turning Luhansk ‘into ruins’ The battles have spanned the Siverskyi Donets River that curls through the region, with Russian forces mainly situated on the east bank and Ukrainian forces mainly on the west. However, Ukrainian forces still hold some ground on the east bank, with Kyiv’s troops in control of part of an industrial zone on the outskirts of Severodonetsk, the hotspot of recent fighting. Luhansk Governor Serhiy Haidai told the Associated Press news agency on Tuesday that Ukrainians continued to hold the Azot chemical plant despite heavy Russian bombardment.
