DOOR STILL OPEN
NAZI RETREAT FROM UKRAINE BUT RUSSIANS PRESSING ON. GREAT INDUSTRIAL TOWNS REOCCUPIED. (Received This Day, 10 a.m.) (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, February 18. The capture of the German bastions of Kharkov and Byelgorod has been followed by a rapid advance in a westerly and north-westerly direction, which has carried the Russians halfway to the north Ukrainian town of Sumy. The reoccupation of the great industrial towns in the Donetz Basin, continues from the north and east, but, so far ,the Germans have succeeded in keeping the door open north of Stalino.' The area still held by the enemy is about 80 miles wide at the neck, where the Russians hold Krasnoarmeysk, on the main railway exit to the west, and also 80 miles long, from the retreating line in the east to the neck between Krasnoarmeysk and Mariupol.
