Donetsk Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko told Newsweek Russia's focus on Luhansk Oblast and the city of Severodonetsk are driven by political concerns.
The names of Kyiv suburbs like Bucha, Irpin, and Gostomel are now synonymous with summary executions, disappearances, torture, and rape. Elsewhere across occupied Ukraine, more than one million people have been"evacuated," according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Smoke rises in the city of Severodonetsk during heavy fighting between Ukrainian and Russian troops in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donbas on May 30, 2022. Russia is seeking to capture the city and complete its occupation of the Luhansk Oblast.Kyrylenko said the atrocities that took place elsewhere are also happening behind the Russian lines in Donbas.
"But now one can't pretend that one doesn't know the nature of Russian people, not any more," the governor continued."They feel good when they commit genocide. That always was true about them, and always will be. Their hatred towards Ukrainians doesn't know [any] limit. That's why their crimes towards us won't know [any] limits as well.", have accused Russian forces of trying to cover up the crimes they are committing across Ukraine.

Local officials reported Russian forces “storming” the eastern city of Sievierodonetsk on Sunday, a situation that the Ukrainian president described as “indescribably difficult.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says 90% of the buildings in Sievierodonetsk have been damaged. The city has emerged as an epicenter of Russia’s quest to conquer Ukraine’s industrial Donbas region. Russia also stepped up efforts to take nearby Lysychansk, where constant shelling was reported. Zelenskyy himself made a rare frontline visit to soldiers in Kharkiv. He declared “I feel boundless pride in our defenders. Every day, risking their lives, they fight for Ukraine’s freedom.”
