KYIV, June 3 (Reuters) - ロシアの 軍隊s 前進するd 深い into the 廃虚d eastern factory city of Sievierodonetsk, but Ukrainian 軍隊/機動隊s were still 持つ/拘留するing out on Friday as Russia's 強襲,強姦 on its 隣人 entered its 100th day.

ウクライナ共和国's defence 大臣 said his 軍隊/機動隊s were already training in Europe to operate new, 前進するd ミサイル systems 誓約(する)d this week by the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs and Britain, which Kyiv hopes will help swing the 戦う/戦い in its favour in coming weeks.

A war that Western countries believe Russia planned to 勝利,勝つ within hours has ground on for more than three months, with Moscow having been driven 支援する from the 資本/首都 but 開始する,打ち上げるing a 抱擁する new 強襲,強姦 in the east.

The past weeks have seen Russia 注ぐ its 軍隊s into the 戦う/戦い for Sievierodonetsk, a small factory city in the east, which Russia must 逮捕(する) to 達成する its 明言する/公表するd 目的(とする) of 持つ/拘留するing all of Luhansk 州. Both 味方するs have been taking punishing losses there in a street-by-street 戦う/戦い that could 始める,決める the trajectory for a long war of attrition.

"I 悔いる to say that the ロシアの army 後継するd in making its way 深い into the city... they 支配(する)/統制する most of the city," Ukrainian 地域の 知事 Serhiy Gaidai said in テレビ放送するd comments 夜通し.

He said about a fifth of the city was now a contested "grey zone". Ukrainian 闘士,戦闘機s were 持つ/拘留するing out in one area, were still able to (疑いを)晴らす ロシアのs out of some streets, and had 逮捕(する)d six ロシアの 囚人s the previous day.

"So I would tell sceptics not to 帳消しにする Sievierodonetsk. It's too 早期に to do that. The city is 持つ/拘留するing on."

Defence 大臣 Oleskiy Reznikov also said Ukrainian 軍隊s had had some success in Sievierodonetsk 夜通し, though he said it was too 早期に to give 詳細(に述べる)s.

Speaking by ビデオ link to a 安全 会議/協議会 in Bratislava, Reznikov said Ukrainian 大砲 乗組員s were already training in Europe to operate new HIMARS and MLR S ロケット/急騰する systems 誓約(する)d earlier this week by the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs and Britain.

Asked when ウクライナ共和国 would be able to 逆転する ロシアの 伸び(る)s and 運動 ロシアの 軍隊s out of eastern ウクライナ共和国, Reznikov said: "I forgot my tarot cards at home... I cannot 予測(する) definitely what month we will kick them out. But I hope that it's an 絶対 現実主義の 計画(する) to do it this year."

SLOW BUT STEADY PROGRESS

にもかかわらず 存在 driven from the north of ウクライナ共和国 in March after a failed 強襲,強姦 on the 資本/首都, Russia still 支配(する)/統制するs around a fifth of ウクライナ共和国, about half 掴むd in 2014 and half 逮捕(する)d since 開始する,打ち上げるing its 侵略 on Feb. 24.

The 大規模な ロシアの 強襲,強姦 in the east in 最近の weeks has been one of the deadliest 段階s of the war for both 味方するs. Moscow has made slow but 安定した 進歩, squeezing Ukrainian 軍隊s inside a pocket in Luhansk and Donetsk 州s, but has so far failed to encircle them.

Ukrainian 軍隊/機動隊s are 存在 軍隊d 支援する in Sievierodonetsk, but still 堅固に 持つ/拘留する its twin city Lysychansk across the Siverskyi Donets river.

Kyiv, 一方/合間, is hoping that the ロシアの 前進する will leave Moscow's 軍隊s so 使い果たすd that ウクライナ共和国 will be able to 開始する,打ち上げる 反対する-不快な/攻撃s and 再度捕まえる 領土 in the months to come.

"We are 推定する/予想するing more good news on 武器 供給(する)s from other partners... We are working to bring the 供給(する) of modern 戦闘 systems to a much higher level," 大統領 Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in an 夜通し 演説(する)/住所.

Russia has 公然と非難するd the $700 million U.S. 武器s 一括 for ウクライナ共和国 that will 含む ロケット/急騰する systems with a 範囲 of up to 80 km (50 miles).

大統領 Joe Biden's 行政 says ウクライナ共和国 has 約束d not to use the ロケット/急騰するs to 攻撃する,衝突する 的s in Russia. Moscow, which calls its 侵略 a "special 軍の 操作/手術" to 武装解除する and "denazify" ウクライナ共和国, says the Western 武器s will 注ぐ "燃料 on the 解雇する/砲火/射撃".

The war and Western 許可/制裁s are taking a (死傷者)数 on a 全世界の economy still 取引,協定ing with the 損失 原因(となる)d by the coronavirus pandemic.

Russia, which has 効果的に shut all 独立した・無所属 国内の マスコミ since the war began, said on Friday it would 召喚する U.S.-based news 出口s next week and 課す "stringent 対策" in 報復 for U.S. moves to 制限する ロシアの マスコミ.

ウクライナ共和国 is one of the world's biggest 供給者s of 穀物 and food oil, and 配達/演説/出産s have been 停止(させる)d by a ロシアの 封鎖 of its ports. Western countries have called on Moscow to 許す 出荷/船積みs to 再開する. Russia 非難するs Western 許可/制裁s for a 全世界の food 危機.

U.N. 援助(する) 長,指導者 ツバメ Griffiths was in Moscow to discuss with ロシアの 公式の/役人s how the way can be (疑いを)晴らすd for food 出荷/船積みs.

"The 状況/情勢 remains fluid," a U.N. spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, said, 追加するing that the 国際連合 "will do and go anywhere we need to go to 押し進める this 事業/計画(する) 今後".
