Ukrainian forces have recaptured around 20% of the territory they lost in the city of Sievierodonetsk during fighting with Russia, the head of the eastern region of Luhansk Serhiy Gaidai announced. Russian forces are blowing up bridges across the Seversky Donets river to prevent Ukraine bringing in military reinforcements and delivering aid to civilians in the town of Sievierodonetsk, the governor of the Luhansk region said.
In the neighboring Donetsk region, Russian troops were only 15 km away from the city of Slovyansk, warned regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko. Donetsk will not fall quickly but needs more weapons to keep the attackers at bay, Kyrylenko said.

Kiev has demanded that the Russian blockade of Black Sea ports be lifted so Ukraine could export the 20 million tons of grain, which are stuck in silos. This would allow the new crop to be stored in the emptied silos.

"We guarantee that this will be done safely and we will allow foreign vessels to reach them," he added.
