Ukraine say Russia looks for weak points in Ukrainian defenses near key river

KYIV, 11 June 2022, (TON): Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesperson Oleksandr Motuzyanyk said “Russia is looking for weak points in Ukrainian defenses near the Siverskyi Donets River in eastern Ukraine.”

He told “Russian forces had not abandoned attempts to launch storming operations in the area.”

If Russia captures the cities of Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk on the Siverskyi Donets, it will hold all of Luhansk, one of two provinces in the Donbas region that Moscow claims on behalf of separatists.

Motuzyanyk said “Russia’s strategic goal is the complete destruction of Ukraine, they won’t let us live in peace.”

“The Russian Federation wants to completely destroy Ukrainian statehood and install a government it can control here.”
