Donetsk: Ukrainian fighters fear for victory in trenches (video)

Watch the video: Ukrainian fighters fear the ceasefire in Donetsk’s cenotaph.

The pressure on the Ukrainian soldiers in Donbass is growing. In the trenches of the eastern Ukrainian region, they are trying to stop the advance of Russian troops. The attackers are apparently advancing, especially in the strategically important city of Sievjerodonetsk. Traces of heavy fighting can also be seen in places along a main road. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported on Monday night that around 90 percent of the buildings in Sievjerodonetsk were damaged. Taking the city is the main task of the occupiers. In the Donetsk trenches, a Ukrainian soldier explains what he fears most. “The fact that we’re told: That’s it, stop it, we have a truce,” says Dmytro, who was an English teacher before the war. This would only result in Ukraine having to give up parts of its territory. Meanwhile, new attacks were also reported from the Kharkiv region. President Zelenskyj visited the recently recaptured city on Sunday. According to local authorities, Russian rockets landed in a village just a few kilometers northeast. Two people were injured. Russia has repeatedly denied allegations of targeting civilians. Instead, a spokesman for the Defense Ministry in Moscow announced on Monday that artillery fire had hit a shipyard in the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv. Vehicles and equipment were destroyed. Mykolaiv is located 100 kilometers east of Odessa on the Black Sea. There was initially no comment from the Ukrainian side.
