Quote: “They fall like flies. The Russians withdrew the remaining Buryats from Severodonetsk because they could not withstand the fighting with Ukrainian defenders.

Fierce fighting continues in Severodonetsk. The Buryats withdrew because they were significantly weaker than our defenders.

Details: According to Haidai, the Russian occupation forces are shelling Lisichansk intensively with high-caliber weapons that can pierce concrete.

Residents of Lisichansk are in extreme danger, even in shelters.

There are no battles in the city or on its outskirts.

In addition, fighting continues in the towns and villages of Hurski and Popasna public [amalgamated territorial communities – ed.].

Haidai added that the level of the Seversky Donets River has fallen due to hot weather, which means Russian forces may try another crossing.

According to Haidai, Russia’s losses in the Luhansk region far exceed those of Ukraine.

Background:

• On June 6, President Volodymyr Zelensky noted that the Ukrainian armed forces were not giving up their positions in Severodonetsk, and on the 103rd day of the war, Donbass was “standing firm.”

• Sergei Haidai said Russian occupation forces controlled most of Severodonetsk.

• Russian forces stormed Severodonetsk and the fighting continued there, but the Russian attack on Novoohtirka and Voronovo was repulsed.
