Urban fight in Severodonetsk in Ukraine. (@NGUmainpage/Zenger)



By Joseph Golder

This is the moment a Ukrainian soldier fires a rocket from inside a building, filling the entire room with smoke as the battle for the eastern Ukrainian city of Sieverodonetsk rages on.


The soldier, who has not been named, can be seen retreating from the window briefly to reload his rocket launcher before heading back to the window and firing again.

The footage also shows Ukrainian soldiers using assault rifles as they fire out the windows of the severely damaged building while also taking fire.

The video then cuts to a soldier also sporting a rocket launcher and firing from what appears to be a different, but also damaged building at unseen enemies below before quickly retreating as the footage ends.

Zenger News obtained the images from the National Guard of Ukraine on Tuesday, June 21, along with a statement saying: “Soldiers of the National Guard of Ukraine destroy the enemy in Sieverodonetsk.”

They added: “Without rest, sleep or even a few minutes of silence, the Guards together with their comrades from other Defense Forces hold the city. The battles for Sieverodonetsk continue. The enemy receives from our military what he deserves – death.”

The Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also confirmed that the footage shows fighting “in the city of Sieverodonetsk” in the Luhansk Oblast region of eastern Ukraine.

We contacted Russian and Ukrainian officials for comment but had not received a reply at the time of writing.

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 in what the Kremlin is still calling a “special military operation.” June 22 marks the 119th day of the invasion.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that between February 24 and June 21, Russia had lost about 34,100 personnel, 1,496 tanks, 3,606 armored combat vehicles, 752 artillery units, 239 multiple launch rocket systems, 98 air defense systems, 216 warplanes, 181 helicopters, 611 drones, 137 cruise missiles, 14 warships, 2,537 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, and 59 units of special equipment.

Russia recently conducted an anti-ship missile exercise in the Baltic Sea amid escalating tensions with NATO member Lithuania after the latter country blocked the transit of goods to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad.

Ukrainian forces have said that they have been successfully thwarting fresh Russian attempts to advance in the Kharkiv region of north-eastern Ukraine.

And Iryna Vereshchuk, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories, has urged locals in the Kherson region to evacuate the area so as to help Ukrainian forces “de-occupy” the area.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Ukraine’s southern frontline as Ukrainian forces mount a counter attack in the region to push back Russian troops.

The new head of the British Army, General Sir Patrick Sanders, told British forces this week that they need to be ready to face Russia on the battlefield and said the British Army now needs to be capable of defeating Russia.

President Joe Biden has promised Kyiv another one billion dollars in security assistance and weapons. General Mark Milley says Russia has lost around 20 to 30 percent of its armored forces during the ongoing invasion.

President Zelenskyy said that a “historic week” has begun as Kyiv awaits a decision from Brussels regarding its EU candidate status.

Zelenskyy, speaking to the African Union on Monday, June 20, also accused Russia of holding Africa “hostage” over grain and fertilizer shortages.

French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi held talks in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv with President Zelenskyy on June 16.

Former Russian president and staunch Vladimir Putin ally Dmitry Medvedev has derided French, German, and Italian leaders visiting the Ukrainian capital Kyiv as “fans of frogs, liverwurst and spaghetti.”

The European Parliament adopted a resolution on June 8 recommending that the European Union grant Ukraine the status of candidate country for EU membership. Some 438 members of the European Parliament voted in favor of the resolution, with 65 voting against and 94 abstaining.

Independent Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov has auctioned off his Nobel Peace Prize medal for 103.5 million dollars, with all the proceeds going to help Ukrainian refugees.

Muratov, 60, is the editor-in-chief of Russian independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, which has been a vocal advocate for the freedom of the press and of independence from state influence.
