Russian forces already control the approaches to the south and east of Lisychansk, and fighting continues near the main road to the south-west of the city, where a large oil refinery is located. The Russians are also trying to get closer to the town of Bakhmut, about 50 kilometers (31 miles) west of Lysychansk, and have made some progress south of the town, the General Staff said. If they are successful, they could trap the Ukrainian forces still defending the lines in a pocket of territory in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. “The enemy is partially successful, he is entrenching himself in the northern part of Klynove and near the E-40 highway,” the General Staff said. “To keep up the pace of the offensive in this direction, the occupiers reinforced the group with a tactical battalion.” Some Ukrainian officials have called the E-40 “the highway of life” because of its importance for resupplying troops and evacuating civilians, which would be greatly complicated if the Russians intercepted the highway. Elsewhere in Donetsk — near Sloviansk — the General Staff said the Russians remained focused on assault operations north of the city and had moved more weapons and military equipment into the area. Local Ukrainian officials have previously said the Russians are reinforcing north of Sloviansk, one of the main Donetsk cities still in Ukrainian hands. The General Staff said the Russians were continuing to shell the northeastern Ukrainian region of Sumy from across the border and had also launched a multiple launch rocket system. Dmytro Zhyvytskyy, head of the Sumy region military administration, said three people had been killed. The Russians have also carried out airstrikes, he said, using helicopters that fired missiles from across the border. The city of Krasnopillya was “covered” in fire, he said. In southern Ukraine, the Ukrainian military says the Russians have added a tactical group of battalions to forces south of Kryvyi Rih. Yevhen Sytnychenko, head of the Kryvyi Rih district military administration, said the city’s thermal power plant had been bombed but was still operating. “The aim of the Russians is to intimidate the civilian population,” he said, adding that a man had been injured in the shelling of a village south of the city. In the city of Dnipro, the bodies of two people have been recovered from the rubble of a shipping depot attacked on Tuesday, according to local authorities.
