The city of Sievjerodonetsk in eastern Ukraine and other areas in the Donbass are still fiercely contested.

"It's getting harder, but our soldiers are stopping the enemy on three sides at once.

They protect Sieverodonetsk and do not allow any advance to Lysychansk,” wrote the governor of the Luhansk region Serhiy Haiday in his Telegram blog.

The governor reported that Russian forces are shelling houses and attacking the Azot chemical plant.

"The enemy is weaker in street fighting, so he opens artillery fire, which destroys our houses," said Hajdaj.

In Lysychansk, which is on a river across from Sievjerodonetsk, there are also said to be many injured.

The secret services also expect that the hostilities will continue for some time.

"Russian forces are likely to be stationed in and around Azot, while Ukrainian fighters may survive underground," the UK MoD wrote on Twitter.

This prevents Russian troops from being able to deploy units elsewhere.

NATO also assumes that the war in Ukraine will rage on for months.

The ministry confirmed that hundreds of civilians are taking shelter in underground bunkers at the Azot chemical plant, along with Ukrainian armed forces.

On Wednesday, civilians should be able to leave the industrial plant via a humanitarian corridor.
