Russian forces have cut off all routes for evacuating citizens from the eastern Ukrainian city of Severodonetsk by destroying the last bridge linking it to a Ukrainian-held city on the other side of the river, a Ukrainian official said.
Regional Governor Serhiy Haidai said on social media on Monday that some 70 percent of Severodonetsk was under enemy control, as the Russian offensive in the eastern Donbas region moved closer to securing a breakthrough victory.
