Ukrainian forces continued to fight against advancing Russian troops in the eastern region of Donbas on Wednesday.

Ukrainian military planes were seen flying low, and smoke billowed in the background as the sounds of artillery rang out in Bakmut.

Luhansk region governor Serhiy Haidai said in a Telegram post on Wednesday that some Ukrainian troops were fighting with the Russians in the city while others had pulled back.

"The evacuation (of civilians) has been halted. There is no possibility to bring in humanitarian aid," Haidai said.

He said the only other city in the Luhansk region not taken by Russia or Moscow-backed separatists -- Lysychansk -- is "fully" under Ukrainian control.

The US announced on Tuesday that it will send Ukraine a small number of high-tech, medium-range rocket systems.

Ukrainian leaders have begged for rocket launchers as they struggle to stall Russian progress in the Donbas region.

Military analysts say Russia is hoping to overrun the Donbas before any weapons that might turn the tide arrive.
