Russian forces fully occupied the eastern Ukrainian city of Sievierodonetsk on Saturday, both sides said, confirming Kyiv's biggest battlefield setback for more than a month after weeks of some of the war's bloodiest fighting.
President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed in a video address that Ukraine would win back the cities it lost. But acknowledging the war's emotional toll, he said: “We don't have a sense of how long it will last, how many more blows, losses and efforts will be needed before we see victory is on the horizon.” Russia's defence ministry said Russian forces had established full control over Sievierodonetsk and the nearby town of Borivske.
Russia also launched missile strikes across Ukraine. At least three people were killed in the town of Sarny, some 185 miles west of Kyiv, after rockets hit a car wash and a car repair facility, said the local regional military administration.Seeking to tighten the screws on Russia, U.S. President Joe Biden and other Group of Seven leaders attending a summit in Germany starting on Sunday will agree on an import ban on new gold from Russia, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.
“48 cruise missiles. At night. Throughout whole Ukraine,” Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said on Twitter. “Russia is still trying to intimidate Ukraine, cause panic.”
