Donetsk oblast
Frontline
The Defense Forces are working to prevent a “deterioration of tactical positions” on the Pokrovsk front line. Over the past day, the occupiers destroyed part of the Ukrainian army’s positions, as reported by the Operational Strategic Command “Khortytsia.”
Russian forces on the Pokrovsk front currently face limitations preventing them from widely deploying fiber-optic drones due to operational restrictions and the specifics of their functionality. Additionally, the occupiers have shifted tactics in using aerial bombs. Instead of targeting the front line, these bombs are now being used to strike rear areas and logistical routes, according to Vasyl Olehovič, deputy commander of a battalion in the 54th Brigade.

New Tariffs for Occupied Luhansk
The so-called “Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of LNR” has introduced new tariffs for maintaining multi-apartment buildings in the occupied Luhansk region. The cost for upkeep will range from 16.18 to 28.96 rubles per square meter per month. The difference depends on the building type, number of floors, and wall materials, not on the city. For example, maintaining an apartment in a nine-story building in partially-destroyed Rubizhne will cost 24.66 rubles per square meter, the same as in Luhansk. A one-room apartment will cost at least 750 rubles per month.
All residential properties will be included in the “Unified Regional Fund for Managing Multi-Apartment Buildings” by November 2025. The funds will be allocated for ongoing repairs, while capital repairs will be funded separately by the residents. Currently, the legal framework for the capital repair fund is being developed.
Sewer System Crisis in Luhansk
The state of the sewage system in Luhansk is near an emergency level. For example, in 90% of buildings in the eastern districts, basements are already filled with sewage.
