The We For News reported, citing Daily Mail, Russian forces have ‘completely destroyed’ the eastern Ukrainian town of Volnovakha following a days-long bombing campaign – but fighting continues for territory there to prevent a Russian encirclement as citizens refuse to accept Moscow’s rule.

Donetsk Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko confirmed the town had been destroyed late on Sunday, saying that Volnovakha “no longer exists” after Moscow’s “war of annihilation” that has left the smouldering remains of the town “in the hands of Russian-backed separatists”.

Images and videos posted on social media showed Russian forces, complete with the tell-tale Z markings on their vehicles, entering the burnt out town that now primarily consists of rubble.

22 air bombings on Mariupol in 24 hours. 100+ bombs. At least 2,187 Mariupol residents were killed during the war. Russians are purposefully targeting apartment buildings, hospitals, and city infrastructure, - city council wrote, saying the greatest danger is from the sky (https://t.me/mariupolrada/8847). The largest in Donbas city (after Luhansk and Donetsk occupied by Russia in 2014) has been besieged for 12 days. However, it is held by Ukrainian troops, mainly by the Azov battalion. Today it has destroyed several more Russian vehicles, including tanks. Already dozens of Russian soldiers were captured after their attempts of assault to the city failed. However, there are no food or water stocks left in the city. Ukrainian fighters started sharing their scarce military food with locals. The fifth attempt of humanitarian convoy departed for Mariupol yesterday. It is still on its way, accompanied by orthodox priests who agreed to this mission. The convoy was already stopped by Russians several times, checked, partially stolen, but the hope remains it will reach the city. Ukrainian military leadership says it knows about the problem and is working to solve it, although "it's not possible to do everything and everywhere immediately at war."
