The head of VCA of Severodonetsk Alexander Stryuk reported about it, informs Censor.NET with reference to UE .

Asked what percentage of the city was occupied, Stryuk said: "I would not say that it is occupied. There was some military success on the part of the orcs, who managed to get into the city and capture a significant part of it, almost splitting in half, if we talk about residential areas where they can feel confident. But our military has managed to regroup, build a line of defense. And now all necessary measures are being taken to return the city to full control of Ukraine. The city remains Ukrainian. "

"Our military is taking all appropriate measures to push the enemy out of the city, positional street battles are being fought. This is accompanied by constant artillery shelling. The situation is quite tense, but there is hope and there is confidence in our Armed Forces that everything will work out."

[RIA Novosti] Some units of the Ukrainian troops lost up to 90 percent of their personnel in the battles for Severodonetsk, said Mikhail Mizintsev, head of the Russian National Defense Control Center.

"Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, having suffered critical losses, are retreating in the direction of Lisichansk," the general said.

According to him, the Kiev authorities ordered the combined tactical group to mine containers with one hundred tons of saltpeter and acid in Severodonetsk in order to delay the advance of the Russian army "by creating a zone of chemical contamination."

He stressed that in the implementation of the planned provocation, Kiev plans to accuse the Russian Armed Forces of creating a man-made environmental disaster with the dissemination of materials in Ukrainian and Western media.

At the beginning of the week, Eduard Basurin, deputy head of the People's Militia Department of the DPR, said that the forces of the republic in a few days expect to take the AFU grouping in the Severodonetsk region into the "cauldron". As LPR Ambassador to Russia Rodion Miroshnik said, the Azot plant located in this city continues to be cleared of Ukrainian militants, but it is held back by the possibility that they have civilians as hostages and containers with chemicals. Nevertheless, he noted that "there will be no second Azovstal here."
