There are fears the besieged city could face the same fate as the fallen port of Mariupol.
The Russian military assault on Severodonetsk has left about 1,500 people dead, according to Haidai, who said Monday that further shelling had killed two more residents and wounded five others."The weather is quite hot right now," Haidai said in another post. "And all over Severodonetsk's outskirts, we have this persistent corpse stench because [Russian forces] are not taking the bodies.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his nightly address that 90% of Severodonetsk's houses had been damaged. "More than two-thirds of the city's housing stock has been completely destroyed," he added. "There is no mobile connection. Constant shelling."
