Russian forces stepped up their attack on the battered city of
Severodonetsk by striking a chemical plant that sent a huge
cloud of smoke into the air.

Footage taken by a Ukrainian defender shows a spewing cloud of
nitric acid as Russian forces pushed to take the strategic city
Severodonetsk in a bid to turn the tide of the war.

The Ukrainian authorities have warned people to stay inside due
to the risk posed by toxic fumes after the blast.

Nitric acid, which is yellow or red, is corrosive and can cause
severe burns, ulcerations, and scarring when in contact with
skin.

Its vapor can also cause pulmonary edema when inhaled – which
can be fatal.

Luhansk governor Serhiy Haidai said the dangerous chemical
release was caused when Vladimir Putin’s forces carried out an
airstrike on a chemicals plant.

Haidai said an aerial attack from a Russian warplane led to the
chemical release, exposing residents to toxic fumes, in a city
with a normal population of 106,000, though many have fled from
the advance of Vladimir Putin’s forces.

The Russian Investigative Committee announced a criminal
investigation into the nitric acid release.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has replied by blasting
Moscow’s airstrikes in the frontline city as “madness.”

In his video address, he condemned the airstrikes in the city
but added he was not surprised by Russia’s attack.

“Given the presence of large-scale chemical production in
Severodonetsk, the Russian army’s strikes there, including blind
air bombing, are just madness,” he said.

“But on the 97th day of such a war, it is no longer surprising
that for the Russian military, for Russian commanders, for
Russian soldiers, any madness is absolutely acceptable.”

Meanwhile, Moscow claimed that Ukrainian forces hit a nitric
acid tank, triggering an explosion and release of the orange
fumes.

A Russian source said: “Footage has emerged of an explosion of a
chemical tanker, presumably containing nitric acid, set off by
the Ukrainian armed forces at the Azot plant in Severodonetsk.”

It comes as Putin demanded the city was captured by yesterday.

Both sides said Russian forces now controlled between a third
and half of the city – but Ukrainian forces are still resisting.

Russia’s separatist proxies acknowledged that capturing the city
was taking longer than hoped, despite one of the biggest ground
assaults of the war.

It comes as a bombshell report has revealed Putin could
sacrifice his own army in a bid for a hollow victory in Ukraine
to save his skin despite losing more than 30,000 troops.

A top secret analysis of the shambolic invasion says the Russian
dictator believes 30,350 of his troops are a “price worth
paying” for a small victory in eastern Ukraine.

But the new report – seen by senior UK government officials and
obtained by The Mirror – warns Putin’s blood sacrifice may be a
step too far for his troops.

Ukraine is a sovereign nation. Ukraine should be free to go on
the offensive against Russia by using military equipment and
technology to hit targets within Russia.

Support the Ukraine! Increase sanctions on the USSR (er--
Russia). Let their be no win for Russia, and press sanctions
untill all of Ukraine is returned to its pre 2014 borders. Send
whatever weapons, and even forces into Ukraine that are
necessary to stop Russia.

Remember obama and the Russian ambassador caught on a open mic
in 2012
"....when I am re-elected I will have the flexibility to get you
what you want..."
2014: Putin takes the Crimea and Donbas areas.
