Artem Lysohor, Head of Luhansk Regional Military Administration, reported that there were about ten explosions in the temporarily occupied Luhansk in the morning. The city’s top aviation school, which is used by the russians as a base, is on fire.

Property belonging to local collaborators, such as Tetiana Molchanova’s meat processing plant, was also damaged. There were no sirens, and the LPR Ministry of Emergency Situations did not respond to the fire. So people were trying to fight the fire on their own, taking food and pulling cars away.

Representatives of Krasnorichensk military administration delivered and distributed a weekly worth of bread to the residents of Nevske and Novoliubovka. They were informed about the evacuation and the assistance that would be provided.

Compensation for the purchase of preferential coal in the so-called “lpr” can only be obtained with a russian passport.

In addition to their own russian documents, in order to receive compensation, they must have copies of the russian passports of all those registered in the apartment and certificates from their place of work or study that none of them received coal or compensation.

From 1 January 2025, residents of the occupied territories will be required to have a car insurance policy with a russian company. However, this also requires a russian passport. Without insurance, the enemy threatens to confiscate vehicles.
