Ukraine: Lysychansk city is about to collapse by force.
An Ucráin: cathair Lysychansk ar tí titim le forneart.
Russian forces are reported to be indicting them in eastern Ukraine and now intend to seize the city of Lysychansk after completely taking over the neighboring city of Severodonetsk from Ukrainian forces yesterday.
Tuairisíctear fórsaí Rúiseacha a bheith ag díotáil leo in oirthear na hÚcráine agus dúil acu anois seilbh a ghabháil ar chathair Lysychansk tar éis dóibh an chathair chomharsanachta Severodonetsk a shealbú go hiomlán ar fhórsaí Úcránacha arú inné.
Lysychansk is the last Ukrainian stronghold in the Luhansk region, and it is reported that the Russians are not dragging their feet and are already carrying out a five – dimensional attack on the city in hopes of complicating it.
Is í Lysychansk daingean deireanach na nÚcránach i réigiun Luhansk, agus tuairiscítear nach bhfuil na Rúisigh ag tarraingt na gcos agus go bhfuil siad ag déanamh ionsaí cúigbheannach ar an gcathair cheana féin le súil compal a dhéanamh uirthi.
The Ukrainians say they are currently succeeding in keeping the Russians out of the south of the city but it is also reported that the Russians have called on their warplanes to destroy Ukrainian defenses from the air.
Deir na hÚcránaigh go bhfuil ag éirí leo faoi láthair na Rúisigh a choinneáil amach ó dheisceart na cathrach ach tuairisicítear chomh maith go bhfuil gairm curtha ag na Rúisigh ar a gcuid scairdeitleán cogaidh le hionaid chosanta na nÚcránach a dhíothú ón aer.
As with Severodonetsk, Russian loyalists claim that more than 250 people, including children, have been evacuated from the chemical factory in the city, which was sheltered by hundreds of civilians during the fighting.
Mar le Severodonetsk de, tá sé á mhaíomh ag dílseoirí Rúiseacha go bhfuil barr ar 250 duine, leanaí ina measc, tugtha amach acu as an ollmonarcha ceimiceán sa chathair a raibh na céadta sibhialtach ar foscadh inti le linn an chomhraic.
A spokesman for the Ukrainian government also pointed out that the Russians fired missiles at the midland city of Cherkasy and some struck an important bridge linking the west with the east.
Thug urlabhraí ó Rialtas na hÚcráine le fios chomh maith gur scaoil na Rúisigh diúracáin le cathair Cherkasy i lár na tíre agus gur bhuail cuid acu droichead tábhachtach a nascann an t-iarthar leis an oirthear.
The spokesman said it was clear that the Russians wanted to remove all obstacles in the way of the Ukrainians sending weapons and ammunition to their soldiers in the east.
Dúirt an t-urlabhraí gur léir gur mian leis na Rúisigh gach uile chonstaic a chur sa bhealach ar na hÚcránaigh airm agus armlón a sheoladh chuig a gcuid saighdiúirí san oirthear.
Missiles were also fired at the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa and six civilians, including a child, were injured when some of them hit residences.
Tuairiscítear gur scaoileadh diúracáin freisin le cathair Odesa i ndeisceart na hÚcráine agus gur gortaíodh seisear sibhialtach, leanbh ina measc, nuair a a bhuail cuid acu áiteanna cónaithe.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky again yesterday called on Western countries to step up the provision of air defense systems to the Ukrainian Army and prove that they are partners rather than hurlers on the sidelines.
D’iarr Uachtarán na hÚcráine Volodymyr Zelensky arís eile inné ar thíortha an Iarthair dlús a chur le córais chosanta aeir a sholáthair d’Arm na hÚcráine agus a chruthú gur comhpháirtithe iad seachas iománaithe ar an gclaí.
