The Eastern Ukrainian city of Severodonetsk has been cut off from the rest of the country after all 3 bridges were destroyed by Russian forces, the local governor says.

With the city effectively cut off, Serhiy Haidai says delivering supplies and evacuating civilians are now impossible.

Fierce fighting is taking place in the city and for weeks capturing Severodonetsk has been a top military goal for Russia.

One resident who is sick and headed to hospital told the BBC life in Severodonetsk was “calm” until the war “broke everything apart”.
