Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu claims that Russian forces have seized the residential quarters of Severodonetsk and are fighting to take control of an industrial zone. “Ukraine has to achieve full control of our entire territory”, President Volodymyr Zelensky said and added that his country had lost too many people to simply cede any territory. Ukraine’s President insisted that “Stalemate is not an option”.
Russia’s Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said that the Ukrainian ports of Berdyansk and Mariupol, seized by Russian forces, had been demined and were ready to resume shipments.
