The SSU reported in absentia the suspicion of the so-called “military command” and the head of the “Novoaidar municipal region of the lpr” for organizing forced mobilization in the temporarily occupied Luhansk oblast.
During the day, russian troops made 25 attempts to break through Ukrainian defenses towards Lyman and Sloviansk. In Luhansk oblast, the enemy stormed near Novoiehorivka and Hrekivka, using artillery and FPV drones. All attacks were repelled.
In the so-called “lpr”, the personnel crisis in the transport sector is worsening: the Luganskmisktrans enterprise is staffed with drivers by only 30%, which is associated with the risk of forced mobilization. Actions like “bring a friend” do not yield results — the available rolling stock is running on routes at half capacity.
Queues at the border between the “lpr” and the russian federation persist due to increased checks of documents, transport and personal belongings. Despite repeated promises by the occupation authorities to “simplify the crossing procedure”, the inspection periodically becomes even stricter.
