[RIA Novosti] The forces of the LPR, with the support of the Russian Armed Forces, wedged into the line of defense of the Ukrainian troops in Severodonetsk and occupied a bridgehead in the city, said the official representative of the People's Militia of the Republic, Ivan Filiponenko, in a video published on the department's Telegram channel.

"We repulsed the enemy in front of Severodonetsk, directly occupied a bridgehead in the city, from where they continue to develop success," he said.

Filiponenko added that the Ukrainian security forces are hiding in residential buildings.

"The enemy does not want to fight for settlements, he prefers to go into residential areas, hide behind the backs of local residents," he said.
