Civilians who still remain in the city of Chasiv Yar, Donetsk region, have found ways to leave for groceries and return, according to the head of the city military administration, Serhii Chaus. Currently, about 150 residents remain across all communities.

In Pokrovsk, 1,843 people remain, according to the Donetsk regional police. They live without electricity, gas, or running water, under constant shelling by Russian forces. Stores and a market continue to operate; residents fetch water from wells and travel to neighboring cities to withdraw cash.

Luhansk oblast

russian attacking efforts have been concentrated in the Lyman direction, according to the regional military administration. Among their main targets is the Serebryansky Forest, where Ukrainian defenders have been holding their positions for several years. The occupiers have also intensified assault operations in the Nadiya area and continue to exert pressure near Hrekivka. The enemy launched six artillery strikes and directed 73 unmanned aerial vehicles toward Ukrainian positions.

In Sievierodonetsk, hopes for the restoration of mobile communication within the city are nearly gone. During the day, if necessary, residents can still walk to the local utility services to request a plumber, or reach the emergency station to report a sick relative’s address. But during curfew hours, this is impossible. Movement around the town is prohibited, and communication is unavailable, meaning that emergency services cannot be called until morning.

The budget sector in the so-called “Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR)” is a key reason for delays in salary payments. In Rubizhne, the occupiers owe over two million rubles to municipal workers. Twenty-seven employees of a company responsible for facility maintenance have not received their wages for three months since the beginning of the year.

What is happening now in the north of Ukraine

Kyiv oblast

Two months ago, the “Clear Sky” project began implementation in the Kyiv region. During this time, over 200 Russian drones have been shot down as part of this initiative, reported Mykola Kalashnyk, head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration.
