KYIV — Ukrainian forces were holding out in Sievierodonetsk on Tuesday, resisting Russia’s all\u002Dout assault to capture a bombed\u002Dout wasteland that Moscow has…
Both sides said Russian forces now controlled between a third and half of the city. Russia’s separatist proxies acknowledged that capturing it was taking longer than hoped, despite one of the biggest ground assaults of the war.
“Unfortunately … the city has been split in half. But at the same time the city still defends itself. It is still Ukrainian,” he said, advising those still trapped inside to stay in cellars. Stryuk, head of the city administration, said evacuating civilians was no longer possible. Authorities canceled efforts to evacuate residents after shrapnel killed a French journalist on Monday.
But the huge battle has come at a massive cost, which some Western military experts say could hurt Russia’s ability to fend off counterattacks.
