112 days have passed since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began. The invading army continues to focus its efforts on the Lugansk region, where nightly shelling has damaged more than 35 buildings, including the Azot chemical plant, the center of the Ukrainian resistance in the besieged city of Severodonetsk.
