Fighting for Severodonetsk: Ukrainian army uses human shields again

15 июня 2022
Fierce fighting for Severodonetsk continues. The city of a hundred thousand people is already almost completely controlled by the allied army (Ukrainian troops hold only the territory of the Azot plant). Two and a half thousand people stay there, 1,200 of whom, according to some reports, are civilians. In the morning, the Russian side opened a humanitarian corridor, but only one elderly man was able to leave. The Ukrainian military does not allow citizens to evacuate to the DNR territory. In Severodonetsk, they apparently try to use a human shield, as they did in Mariupol. 

Despite the terrorist methods of the AFU, they continue to be supplied with the most modern weapons. In particular, the United States is ready to transfer a new batch of M777 howitzers to Kiev - the same ones used to shell peaceful neighborhoods in Donetsk. In total, the Americans have sent 109 such guns to Ukraine. It is noteworthy that this is almost a tenth of the Pentagon's entire arsenal of howitzers.
