Luhansk oblast
russians have concentrated their main attack efforts on Lyman. They put pressure from several directions. Ukrainian defenders stoppedrussian assaults near Makiivka, where the enemy tried to break through the defences of Ukrainian soldiers. The occupiers do not stop artillery shelling and continue to use drones in large numbers. Only near Balka Zhuravka they sent 22 UAVs. An airstrike was conducted on Novoiehorivka.
The occupied territories began preparing for the State Duma elections to be held in 2026. In 2025, the Central Election Commission of the russian federation is to approve a new scheme of single-member districts to replace the one adopted in 2015. The main criterion that will be taken into account when ‘slicing’ the districts and, accordingly, determining their number is the total population in the occupied territories.
The main arena for manipulation is the so-called ‘lpr’ and ‘dpr’, where residents of remote regions of the russian federation, families of the russian military, and cheap labour are brought in large numbers. It does not matter where they vote – in the occupied territories or at home. Whether the russian military will be alive at that time is also of no concern to the russian electoral cycle. The main thing is registration. Another loophole for manipulation is the number of local people who have returned or will arrive on election day. Local occupation authorities can submit any figures to the russian federation in this regard.
Pension structures of the so-called ‘lpr’ do not take into account documents confirming the length of service, including preferential service, gained at enterprises located in the territories occupied in 2022. Persons applying for the relevant payments are granted pensions on a general basis based on the data contained in their employment record books and archives collected before 2014.
