Russian forces are seeking to swallow up the last remaining Ukrainian stronghold in the eastern Luhansk region following the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the charred ruins of Sievierodonetsk.
The military said Moscow-backed separatists were now in full control of the chemical plant that was the last Ukrainian holdout in the city.
Russia also launched dozens of missiles on several areas across the country far from the heart of the eastern battles. Some of the missiles were fired from Russian long-range Tu-22 bombers deployed from Belarus for the first time, Ukraine’s air command said.
