Russia rains missiles on Ukraine cities, hundreds of civilians trapped
Russian troops took control of Severodonetsk, one of the last holdouts in the breakaway eastern region of Luhansk, on Saturday — even as Western intelligence agencies predicted that the invader’s military will soon exhaust its combat capabilities and be forced to halt its offensive.
Separately, Ukrainian officials said multiple cities across the country were hit by a rain of Russian missiles, including an overnight airstrike that was launched from Belarus, Russia’s ally. “According to Ukraine’s defense intelligence, it was the first airstrike on Ukraine conducted directly from the territory of Belarus, and Russia’s ‘provocation’ to draw Belarus into its war against Ukraine,” the Kyiv Independent said.
Chatter on Russian Telegram channels and statements from Ukraine’s deputy defense minister, Anna Malyar, suggested the Russian military is under pressure to bring all of Luhansk under its control by Sunday.
