Fighting continues in two directions in the Luhansk region.
Ukrainian soldiers have already liberated nine of settlements of the Luhansk region. This was announced by the head of the Luhansk OVA, Serhiy Gaidai, on the air of the telethon.
“To date, nine settlements have been deoccupied. And I hope that our defenders will increase this number every week. We are ready to work, all the heads of military administrations,” Gaidai said.
According to him, two destinations in the region remain the hottest at the moment – Bilogorivka and Svatovogo-Kreminnaya. In the first, the enemy is trying to knock out the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the liberated territory, and in the second it is mainly defending.

The head of the OVA assumes that in the area the cities of Svatovo and Kreminnathe invaders, most likely, will give up offensive actions in the near future. He explained that the Russian Federation has withdrawn a “huge number” of military personnel to the Luhansk region, but most of them are recently mobilized representatives of civilian professions or prisoners, among whom there is no combat coordination.
“It is still a huge number people It's still dangerous. But going on the offensive with such a formation is basically suicide,” Gaidai noted.
He also said that there are still difficulties that do not allow for the quick liberation of all the occupied areas of Luhansk region. In particular, the invaders densely mined the territory, blew up some bridges and pulled up reserves and ammunition for heavy artillery.
“I will not say that this is a critical number of soldiers, equipment, and ammunition, but I can say that every meter of Luhansk land, every settlement is given very hard. I understand that some people have such high spirits, but we must not forget that it is all very difficult. We also already have losses, there are wounded…” – emphasized the head of the OVA.
