Ukrainian leaders have renewed pleas to Western countries in recent days to speed up deliveries of heavy weapons as Russian forces pound the east of the country with artillery
Sievierodonetsk has become epicentre of the battle for control over the industrialized Donbas region in the east, made up of Luhansk and Donetsk provinces. Parts of the city have been pulverized in some of the bloodiest fighting since Moscow began its invasion on Feb. 24.
Ukraine has said some 800 people were hiding in bomb shelters under the Azot plant, including employees and city residents. The Interfax report on Sunday said Russian forces had used Kalibr cruise missiles to attack the large depot. It also said Russian forces had shot down three Ukrainian SU-25 fighter jets near Donetsk and Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine.
