KYIV, Ukraine, May 31, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - Russian forces have taken partial

control of the east Ukraine city of Severodonetsk, the Ukrainian official in
charge of the region said Tuesday, as Moscow's army pushed deeper into the
Donbas region.

"The situation is extremely complicated. Part of Severodonetsk is controlled
by the Russians," Lugansk regional governor Sergiy Gaiday said in a statement
on social media, adding that despite the Russian advance, Ukrainian forces
"still remain in the city".
