Russian Forces Cut Off Last Routes Out Of Eastern Ukraine City by Zelenskyy(m): 1:49am On Jun 14, 2022
Russian forces cut off the last routes for evacuating citizens from the eastern Ukrainian city of Sievierodonetsk, a Ukrainian official said, as the Kremlin pushed for victory in the Donbas region.

The last bridge to the city was destroyed, trapping any remaining civilians and making it impossible to deliver humanitarian supplies, said regional governor Sergei Gaidai, adding that some 70% of the city was under Russian control.

Ukraine has issued increasingly urgent calls for more Western heavy weapons to help defend Sievierodonetsk, which Kyiv says could hold the key to the battle for the eastern Donbas region and the course of the war, now in its fourth month.

Late on Monday, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the battle for the eastern Donbas would go down as one of the most brutal in European history. The region, comprising the provinces of Luhansk and Donetsk, is claimed by Russian separatists.

"For us, the price of this battle is very high. It is just scary," he said.

"We draw the attention of our partners daily to the fact that only a sufficient number of modern artillery for Ukraine will ensure our advantage."

Russia's main goal is to protect Donetsk and Luhansk, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Monday, after the leader of one of the separatist regions asked for additional forces from Moscow.

Ukraine needs 1,000 howitzers, 500 tanks and 1,000 drones among other heavy weapons, Presidential Adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said on Monday.

Moscow issued the latest of several recent reports saying it had destroyed U.S. and European arms and equipment.

Russia's defence ministry said high-precision air-based missiles had struck near the railway station in Udachne northwest of Donetsk, hitting equipment that had been delivered to Ukrainian forces.

Ukraine's interior ministry on Telegram said that Udachne had been hit by a Russian strike overnight Sunday into Monday, without mentioning whether weapons had been targeted.

Moscow has criticised the United States and other nations for sending Ukraine weapons and has threatened to strike new targets if the West supplied long-range missiles.

The European Commission will recommend granting Ukraine official status as an EU candidate country, Politico reported late on Monday, citing several unnamed officials.

Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Saturday that the EU executive's opinion on Ukraine's request to join would be ready by the end of this week.

MARIUPOL AGAIN ?

Russia's RIA news agency quoted a pro-Moscow separatist spokesperson Eduard Basurin as saying Ukrainian troops were effectively blockaded in Sievierodonetsk and should surrender or die.

The situation risked becoming like Mariupol, "with a large pocket of Ukrainian defenders cut off from the rest of the Ukrainian troops", according to Damien Magrou, spokesperson for the International Legion for the Defence of Ukraine that has had forces in Sievierodonetsk.

During the fall of Mariupol last month, hundreds of civilians and badly wounded Ukrainian soldiers were trapped for weeks in the Azovstal steelworks.

Russia has denied targeting civilians in what it calls a "special operation" to restore Russian security and "denazify" its neighbour.

Ukraine and its Western allies call this a baseless pretext for an invasion which has killed thousands of civilians and raised fears of wider conflict in Europe.

More than 5 million people have fled and the world has been hit by a food and energy crisis, dividing Western nations over how to handle it.

After failing to take the capital Kyiv following the Feb. 24 invasion, Moscow focused on expanding control in the Donbas, where pro-Russian separatists have held territory since 2014. Russia has also tried to capture more of Ukraine's Black Sea coast.

"The entire front is being subjected to constant shelling," Donetsk regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko told Ukrainian TV on Monday evening.

The towns of Maryinka, Krasnohorivka, Vuhledar were hit in the coal-producing belt and Avdiivka, home to a big coking plant, he said.

Gaidai said a six-year-old child was among those killed in the latest shelling of Lysychansk.

Officials in the Russian-backed separatist-controlled Donetsk region said at least three people, including a child, were killed and 18 were wounded by Ukrainian shelling that hit a market in Donetsk city.

The Donetsk News Agency showed pictures of burning stalls at the central Maisky market and several bodies on the ground. The news agency said 155-mm calibre NATO-standard artillery munitions hit parts of the region on Monday.

Reuters could not independently verify the reports.

In Bakhmut, in Donetsk, a resident who gave her name as Valya surveyed the wreckage of an apartment block local authorities said had been hit by an air strike.

"We went to bed, we are old people, you know. And then all of a sudden ... Terrifying, look what happened," she said. "There is nothing good happening here."

Oga why e dey pain you like this?
Whether dem fire from their toilet or from their parlour no matter. What matters is that they are still fighting.
Your British intelligence said the war would have been over by mid April, Russia economy would crumble by may, today the opposite is the case.
Russia is fighting with few soldiers and the rest are either from Donbas or allies.
It seems you lack insight in this war. Russia you call lazy has captured part of Ukraine bigger than the United Kingdom.
Zelensky has even exhausted the weapons and 50 billion sent.
His American allies have started having issues with him.

You don't have to blame them that much the Russians made mistakes in the early hours of the conflict but they have adjusted and corrected most of that. Understand that this is a highly tactical and strategic conflict at play here. The Yankees are in it not just to weaken Russia as they have said openly, but to learn and test Russia's fighting prowess, capabilities and technology. The Russians are trying so much not to give all of that away. This is a country waging war against the whole of NATO who are guiding and supplying real-time Intel to the Ukrainians. The Donbass and Luhansk region share borders with Russia and that's the primary line of engagement for the Russians.

I hope this war will stop soon. While both sides have lost considerable amount of men, the message is clear and loud enough to the collective west that Russia is too big and too strong and capable to be intimidated economically and militarily.

The earlier Ukraine surrenders the better because loosing this fight is inevitable. They don't stand a chance.

Another "evacuation" is about to happen in azot(Sievierodonetsk) plant just like azostal(mauripol).

Piece by piece that's how russia take over more territories.

I believe Russia is win the war against Ukraine long time ago. The present war is against NATO using Ukraine as battle field. NATO ARMY are already in this war. For NATO to advise Ukraine to negotiate show Russia has win the war on NATO.

What are diplomats doing a war zone?
UN chief told Russia military before going to Ukraine yet missiles hit depots around the place, now imagine UN not informing Russia before.
If any Diplomat don't inform Russia military in advance and the diplomat get kill then that person dead for nothing.
Even USA said they still communicate with Russia else Austin and Blinken wouldn't risk their lives and traveled to Ukraine.

USA and NATO bombed Chinese embassy with 5 bombs during Yugoslavia war killing many Chinese, sorry its a war-zone was the story USA said.

Exactly! Foreign diplomats are all over Ukraine, Internet and phone services, TV Stations, and other social services, all working. All these would not be possible had Russia been at war with Ukraine. Russia is demilitarizing its Slav brethren with kid's glove and is in no rush, hence the term "Special Military Operation' . Ukraine would not last two weeks if Russia declares war on Ukraine.

While US military doctrine is global dominance with at least 800 military bases spread across the globe, Russia's military doctrine has always been geared towards the defense of its borders, and to project power in Eastern Europe. Long story short, NATO/US can not defeat Russia in a war in Ukraine, much less Ukraine by itself.
