Recent war events in the east of Ukraine

After the repeated offensive in the north of Kharkiv oblast, the russians began to hit Kharkiv and the oblast with aerial bombs more often, constantly changing the launch sites.

Luhansk oblast

The assaults were successfully repelled near Stelmakhivka, Hrekivka, Nevske and Makiivka. The fighting continues. The situation was the hottest near Nevske. Also russians fired 151 times at Nevske and neighbouring Makiivka: 67 were artillery attacks and 84 were from UAVs.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in the occupied territories has reached a critical point. For instance, in Lysychansk, where the locals have been surviving on russian aid for three years, the distribution of humanitarian aid has been restricted. Food parcels are only given to people aged 70+, large families and some other privileged categories, and only with a russian passport.
In Sievierodonetsk, residents are forced to earn money by donating blood: they pay rub 792 for one “voluntary blood donation”. Social media posts say that this is perhaps the only guaranteed way to get money.
A food crisis is looming in Kreminna. Due to the heavy fighting around the city and the prolonged absence of electricity, there is almost no food being brought in, and the food that is on the shelves is of questionable quality, as the refrigerators are not working. There are many products that have expired. The situation is not much better in Sievierodonetsk, Lysychansk and Rubizhne, which are also used to “dispose of” expired food, as people have neither money nor choice.
In the mining region of Lutuhyne, there were announcements of recruitment to russian coal enterprises, with a deferral from mobilisation. People are outraged because all the locals were forcibly sent to war, while the miners in russia were given reservations.
In settlements where the situation is more or less stable, collaborators are actively “nationalising” premises that “show signs of ownerlessness”. For instance, the “administration of Starobilsk municipal region” published a list of 38 non-residential buildings that fall into this category: a dental clinic, a clinical laboratory, a well-known coffee shop, and 50 more residential premises.
Since the beginning of the full-scale aggression of the russian federation, the State Environmental Inspectorate in Luhansk oblast has calculated the damage caused to the main waterway of the region, the Siverskyi Donets River, at UAH 1.9bn. The aggressor has destroyed bridge crossings over the Siverskyi Donets River, and parts of them have fallen into its bed. In total, 15,450 tonnes of debris from bridges and other crossings got into the water bodies of Luhansk oblast. According to the Inspectorate’s calculations, the damage caused to the water bodies of Luhansk oblast since the beginning of russia’s full-scale invasion has amounted to about UAH 4.2bn.
