Russia is now in control of much of Severodonetsk, the epicenter of the battle for Ukraine's eastern Donbas region

CNN)Russian forces are now in control of most of Severodonetsk, the epicenter of the bloody battle for Ukraine's eastern Donbas region. 

Street fighting continued to rage on Saturday in the eastern city, where Russian soldiers and Ukrainian troops are still locked in battle.
"The situation remains difficult. Fighting continues, but unfortunately, most of the city is under Russian control. Some positional battles are taking place in the streets," said Serhiy Haidai, the governor of Luhansk region, which makes up Donbas along with the neighboring Donetsk region.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that the fight for the strategic city may dictate the outcome of the war in the east of the country. 
 
"Severodonetsk remains the epicenter of the confrontation in Donbas," Zelensky said during his nightly address on Wednesday.
"This is a very fierce battle, very difficult ... Probably one of the most difficult throughout this war," he added. "In many ways, the fate of our Donbas is being decided there."
Severdonetsk lies in the heart of Donbas, a sprawling industrial region in eastern Ukraine that has seen intermittent fighting since 2014, when Russian-backed separatists seized control of two territories there -- the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic.
Haidai said on Saturday that Ukraine were still in control of the Azot chemical plant in Severodonetsk, where 800 people are reportedly sheltering, after a Russian-backed official claimed that Ukrainian fighters were also trapped there.
"The story about the blockade of the Azot plant is a complete lie spread by Russian propagandists," Haidi said on the Telegram messaging app.
Rodion Miroshnik, a Russian-backed leader of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic, claimed on Saturday that up to 400 Ukrainian fighters were taking refuge in the factory complex, hiding alongside civilians in bomb shelters, and that negotiations for their surrender and the safe evacuation of civilians were ongoing.
"The combatants are trying to make demands, namely to allow them to leave the territory of the chemical plant together with the hostages and to provide a corridor to go to Lysychansk. Such demands are unacceptable and will not be taken into consideration," Miroshnik said.
