Artem Lysohor, Head of Luhansk RMA, reports that more than 1,900 apartment buildings located in the occupied territory of Luhansk Oblast have not been serviced by utilities for years.

Urgent re-registration of an apartment under russian law in the so-called “lpr” is not a panacea for the arbitrariness of the local occupation authorities. In particular, in Siverskodonetsk, housing that has been re-registered and entered into the russian register in the event of a long-term absence of the owner in the city is again, but unofficially, recognized as ownerless. russian handymen, including builders, are being settled there, along with families who have decided to move from remote regions of the russian federation. The russian security forces are leaving complaints unconsidered.
