Quote: "According to the results of this day, the 105th day of the full-scale war, Sievierodonetsk remains the epicentre of the confrontation in Donbas.

We are defending our positions and inflicting significant losses on the enemy. This is a very fierce battle, very difficult. Perhaps one of the hardest of this war.

I am grateful to everyone who is defending this area. In many ways, it is there that the fate of Donbas is being decided now."
