Regional governor Serhiy Gaidai told Ukrainian state television on Tuesday that Russian troops are slowly pushing into the city center of Sievierodonetsk in Ukraine’s eastern Luhansk region.
Gaidai said Ukrainian troops defending Sievierodonetsk were not at risk of being encircled as they could retreat to Lysychansk across the river.
