Ukraine Juntas Weekend Attempt to Mass Murder Donetsks Innocent Civilians Fails. None were killed
Press TV in Donetsk: Street by street battle rages in eastern city
05 June 2022
Press TV’s Johnny Miller says the conflict in Ukraine is a proxy war between Russia and NATO on one hand, and an ethnic war on the other.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says the battle for eastern city of Severodonetsk is being waged street by street as blasts rock the capital Kiev. President Vladimir Putin warns Russia will strike new targets if the US supplies longer-range missiles.
Press TV correspondent Johny Miller told us from Donetsk in the eastern Donbas region on Sunday that Russia continues to strike areas all around Ukraine.
"They say they are attacking military instillations and weapons coming from NATO and they are trying to strike those weapons before they are able to get to the front line," he said.
According to Miller, a district of Donetsk was hit about 9 p.m. Saturday night with loud explosions. No one was killed in the strikes, but 10 people were wounded and one was a child.
"The truth in Donetsk is that the Ukrainian army is shelling civilian areas for the past eight years, targeting and killing its own civilians. Most people here at Donetsk say they no longer want to be part of Ukraine and they want to join Russia. This is one of the main reasons Ukraine kills its own people. Around 10,000 people have been killed during the last eight years," he said.
Cities in the eastern Donbas area are at the heart of the Russian offensive. President Zelensky late Saturday said they were under "constant airstrikes, artillery and missile fire" but Ukrainian forces were holding their ground.
Russia's army claimed some Ukrainian military units were withdrawing from Severodonetsk but Mayor Oleksandr Striuk said Ukrainian forces were fighting to retake the city.
"Our soldiers have managed to redeploy, build a line of defense," he said in an interview broadcast on Telegram Saturday. "We are currently doing everything necessary to re-establish total control" of the city.
Earlier, Lugansk regional governor Sergiy Gaiday said the Russians had captured most of Severodonetsk, but that Ukraine's forces were pushing them back.
"The Russian army, as we understand, is throwing all its power, all its reserves in this direction," said Gaiday. "Russians are blowing up the bridges, so that we cannot supply reinforcements to our boys, who are in Severodonetsk."
