At least four people have been killed by Russian shelling in eastern Ukraine. The military governor of the Donetsk region on Monday called on remaining residents to flee the area near the front.
The dead were men between 36 and 86 years old. The front line between Russian and Ukrainian troops runs about ten kilometers east of the town of Siversk, which has now been hit by Russian missiles. Before the war, more than 10,000 people lived there.
The Russian leadership has already declared the entire Donetsk region its own territory, but has only partial control. The fact that the annexed territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia and Kherson are completely under Russian control is a stated aim of the war.
15 injured by falling debris
At least 15 people were injured on Sunday by falling debris from a downed Russian cruise missile in southeastern Ukraine. Further south, at least four people were injured by artillery fire. According to the regional military administration, several houses caught fire. The information could not be independently verified.
“The enemy is greater in number”
Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov described the situation on the eastern front as tense. Following his example, Russian troops are trying to advance in the areas west of Bakhmut. “Despite the enemy’s numerical superiority, we successfully thwarted these plans – thanks to the courage, training and professionalism of the defenders.” Umerov went on to say that he visited Ukrainian units on the Eastern Front on Sunday.
“Unfortunately, aid to Ukraine is still limited and the Russian state still has access to key components needed to produce missiles and drones,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his daily video address on Sunday. The war opponent recently reported further territorial gains in eastern Ukraine (see video above).
