June 12 (UPI) -- Russian troops have destroyed two of the three bridges into Sievierodonetsk in a final push to take control of the key city in eastern Ukraine.
"The situation in Sievierodonetsk is extremely difficult. The racists destroyed the second bridge leading to the regional center at night," Serhiy Haidai, the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, said Sunday in a statement to Telegram.
"Fight now, the orcs are firing artillery at the last third overpass to the city, the Russians are throwing all their forces to 'cut off' Sievierodonetsk. The next two or three days will be significant."
Sievierodonetsk is the last remaining urban center in the Luhansk oblast of Ukraine, which makes up the larger Donbas region with the oblast of Donetsk. The Donbas region has largely been held by Russian-backed separatists since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.

Zelensky asks for more
Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky vowed in an evening speech on Monday that Ukraine would liberate all of the territories occupied by Russia, even the Crimean peninsula, which Russia annexed shortly after its takeover in 2014. But that could only happen, he said, if more weapons are sent to Ukraine.
"It only takes enough weapons to make it happen. The partners have it. In sufficient quantities. And we work every day for the political will to give us these weapons to appear," Zelensky said.
