Ukrainian troops continue to try to push back fierce Russian attacks in eastern Ukraine's Donbass region. According to the Ukrainian armed forces, Russian fighters have advanced far beyond the city of Izyum into the Donbass region. However, the Ukrainian army managed to recapture the village of Dmytrivka near Izyum in the Kharkiv region. The information cannot be independently verified.
Analysts at the US Institute for War Studies confirm that the Ukrainian military has recently launched a number of successful counterattacks. British intelligence experts, however, are looking at the situation in the strategically important city of Sieverodonetsk. This could therefore soon be completely encircled by the Russians. The city and its surroundings are under heavy artillery fire, the Ukrainian army said. Every street in Sievjerodonetsk is contested.

It is unclear who captured the two men. This is possibly important for their further fate: troops of the pro-Russian separatists from the self-proclaimed people's republics of Donetsk and Luhansk are also fighting on Russia's side. They have already sentenced three foreigners from the ranks of the Ukrainian army – two Britons and one Moroccan – to death in a show trial. In Russia, on the other hand, the death penalty is suspended.
