Ukraine LIVE: Huge blow for Putin as 'mutinies' erupt after suffering 'devastating losses'

Russian troops are moving into the city of Sivierodonetsk from the outskirts, the regional governor has said.

Sievierodonetsk, the largest city that Kyiv still partly controls in the Luhansk region of the Donbas, has been the focus of Russia’s attacks in eastern Ukraine.

Luhansk region governor Serhiy Gaidai said: “”Unfortunately we have disappointing news, the enemy is moving into the city.”

“They (Russian army) use the same tactics over and over again. They shell for several hours – for three, four, five hours – in a row and then attack. Those who attack die. Then shelling and attack follow again, and so until they break through somewhere,” Gaidai said.
