Thank you for the correction My understanding was that Russia had de facto control of Luhansk and all of its suburbs including Severdonetsk, but Severdonetsk actually became the administrative capital of the Ukrainian government in the region. After Luhansk fell.
Edit: Either way this is not very impressive from the Russian forces. This is literally a small city down the road from the Luhansk and they are struggling to gain control of this city, after 13 weeks of war.
