“Even if the costs are high, not only for military support, also because of rising energy and food prices.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who has rallied citizens with daily filmed messages, said he had visited forces in the southern Mykolaiv region, about 550 km south of Kyiv. “The losses are significant. Many houses have been destroyed; civilian logistics have been disrupted,” he said.A top target in Moscow’s offensive to seize full control of Luhansk region, one of the two provinces making up the Donbas, is the industrial city of Sievierodonetsk, where the Ukrainian military said fighting and shelling continued.

Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, wrote in a note that “Russian forces will likely be able to seize Sievierodonetsk in the coming weeks but at the cost of concentrating most of their available forces in this small area”. Russian forces were trying to approach Kharkiv, which experienced intense shelling in the first two months of the war, and turn it into a “frontline city”, a Ukrainian interior ministry official said.
