Russia Gains Upper Hand As Ukraine Military Admits ‘Difficult’ Situation

A Ukrainian military official has said Russia has gained the advantage as fighting rages in the eastern Luhansk region.

Oleksiy Gromov of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said on Thursday that Russia had the upper hand “both in aviation and in artillery,” but Kyiv’s forces were “trying with all our might to change the situation.”

He told a briefing that the situation in the area of Severodonetsk was “difficult, but stable” and that Russian forces were carrying out airstrikes and artillery damage on Ukrainian troops.

“Every unit, every serviceman acts according to the general plan of the senior commander,” he said, according to news agency Interfax, adding that the provision of weapons from allies “will accelerate our victory.”

His comments come as at least four people were killed when the center of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second city, was shelled, according to regional governor Oleh Synyehubov.

This is a developing story.
