Serhiy Haidai, Luhansk’s regional governor, said via Telegram on Thursday that Severodonetsk had yet to fall and that Ukrainian soldiers had success dislodging Russian troops from some streets. He said “tens of thousands” of people have died in the first 99 days of the war. The systems are superior to what Ukraine — whose troops will be trained in their use — currently owns. Sustained, indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets have taken a massive toll on Ukraine’s children, Zelenskyy said in a video address Wednesday. He said at least 243 children have died, 139 are missing and 446 have been injured since Russia invaded Feb. 24.
