Ukraine: Lugansk will fall soon ', civilians fleeing Azot

 Russia is making its superiority of men and means weighed on the field and within a few weeks can successfully conclude the offensive in

.

The prediction came from the Americans, as the invading army continued to target

by destroying its bridges to isolate the city.

Ukrainians resist in the industrial area and in the Azot factory, but the risk for the hundreds of civilians refugees inside is very high, after a fire caused by a raid.

Some of them, according to pro-Russian separatists, managed to escape.

Putin's Army has also returned to strike in the west of the country, to destroy military supplies.

Causing dozens of injuries.

During yet another bloody battle in the ruins of Severodonetsk (in which a former British soldier sided with Kiev was killed), the Ukrainian governor Serghyi Gaidai said that the defenders "are prevailing in the street clashes", and yet "the the enemy's artillery is razing to the ground all the buildings used by our troops to hide ".

An uneven battle, therefore, as confirmed by British intelligence.

The Russians - found London - are probably preparing to deploy the third battalion of some combat formations, while generally only two battalions are engaged at the same time. "If necessary, even mobilizing" new recruits and reservists ". The fighting also continues around the Azot factory, in the aftermath of the Russian raid which caused a vast fire. And the situation of the approximately 800 civilians hiding inside is uncertain. According to the Moscow emissary in Lugansk, Rodion Miroshnik, some have started to leave the complex, from a passage not controlled by the Ukrainians, "rescued by the allied forces".

However, no confirmation has come from Kiev.

The separatists also said they did not want to storm the plant, but asked the "Ukrainian troops inside to surrender".

The goal of the Russians, according to local Ukrainian authorities, is to push hard to take Severodonetsk within the next few days, and with this in mind they are destroying all bridges to cut off supplies of men and weapons.

US defense sources have confirmed that the surrender of the city, along with Lysychansk, appears imminent.

And after closing the Lugansk match, the Donetsk match will open.

The first target along the advance line is Bakhmut, where the echoes of bombing have been heard regularly for days.

And Kramatorsk, the largest city in the oblast, is also in the sights.

In addition to the Donbass, the Russians continue to keep the pressure on the Ukrainians high in the rest of the country as well.

Cruise missiles struck in the west, in Tchortkiv, 140 km from the Romanian border.

The goal, according to Moscow, was a depot of weapons supplied by Americans and Europeans.

But in the raid, reported Kiev, 22 were injured.

In the occupied areas on the coast, Putin's army continued with the demining activities in Mariupol, announcing that the whole beach, as well as the port, is safe again.

As for the defenders, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that his troops "are gradually liberating the territory of Kherson" and that "progress has also been made in the Zaporizhzhia region".

The Ukrainian leader in his latest video message said that no one knows how long the conflict will last, but he claimed that his men have so far exceeded all expectations, preventing the Russians from invading all of eastern Ukraine.

"It is already the 108th day of the war, it is already June, and we are resisting," he assured him.

While the Pope, in the Sunday Angelus, once again turned his thought to "the afflicted Ukrainian population".

Launching an appeal "not to get used to this tragic reality and to always keep it in our hearts. Let us pray and fight for peace".
