The Russian forces who are advancing in eastern Ukraine with continuous bombardment have captured half of the city of Severodonetsk, reports said.
"The front line has cut (Severodonetsk) into two halves," city head Oleksandr Stryuk told Ukrainian TV. Luhansk regional Governor Serhiy Haidai described it as "a grave situation there."
The Norwegian Refugee Council said that thousands of civilians remain trapped in crossfire in the city without sufficient access to water, food, medicine or electricity.
