The Ukrainian armed forces trapped Russian troops in Severodonetsk. And now they are launching counterattacks against them. This was reported on Facebook by the advisor to the head of the Office of the President Oleksiy Arestovich.

"We trapped Russian troops in Severodonetsk, pretending to "surrender" the city. Now the Russian command is in shock. They have already reported the capture of Severodonetsk, when our troops launched a tough counterstrike and are now pounding the Moscow comrades into the meat - despite their superiority in aviation and artillery," he noted.

According to him, heavy fighting is going on in the city, and the Russian command is throwing all its forces to hold Severodonetsk.

"Ours are really tearing up the enemy like lions now, despite its fire superiority. The first Russian prisoners of war have appeared. But not everyone is so lucky. The battle is not over. Ours are tearing, tearing, tearing. This is skill. Better than the enemy," Arestovich added.
