Luhansk oblast
The occupiers tried to storm Bilohorivka four times, but these attempts were repelled by our defenders. The enemy also intended to advance near Hrekivka. 32 unmanned aerial vehicles were sent by the russians towards the positions of Ukrainian soldiers near Makiivka and Balka Zhuravka. The settlements themselves came under fire. The enemy fired nine artillery shells at these villages.
The russians will send the men forcibly mobilised in Luhansk and other cities of the so-called ‘lpr’ to the infantry in Kursk oblast. From there, they either do not return or wait for an exchange if they are lucky enough to be captured. In addition, the invaders are less likely to exchange those who are registered in the occupied territories. Also russian military hospitals also treat them accordingly, representatives of the “lpr” spend the least time in hospitals.
In Sieverskodonetsk, the occupiers force residents to refuse in writing to accept demonstration repairs, as there is little chance that russian-hired builders will not replace the surviving windows with cheaper ones, dismantle plumbing, doors, or take valuables and furniture from the apartment. However, these applications are not collected centrally, only contractors accept them. Therefore, in order to avoid being left with nothing, locals try to apply in writing to several repair teams at once.
