Tuesday 19 April 2022 – Russian forces have started the battle for Donbas in eastern Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday as he underscored that the country will continue to fight against a Russian incursion. Ukrainian forces have repelled “numerous attempted advances” by Russian forces on the Donbas line of control as Moscow’s shelling and attacks in the area “continue to increase,” UK defense intelligence says. Civilians in Luhansk have been urged to evacuate after Ukrainian forces “lost” control of the town of Kreminna during heavy fighting. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces are continuing to resist Russian attacks in the southeastern port city of Mariupol, with a Ukrainian commander telling CNN the situation at the Azovstal plant, one of the city’s last bastions still under Ukrainian control, is “critical” as a large number of troops are wounded and time is limited.
