Vadym Liakh, Head of Sloviansk military administration, says that this year, stray animals will be sterilized in Sloviansk, Donetsk oblast. In 2022, no sterilization was carried out in the city because there were no veterinarians willing to go to the frontline.

The kremlin has enacted a law that allows citizens to be detained for 30 days for violating martial law. In addition, the possibility of detaining passenger transport in the absence of a route card has been introduced. It should be noted that martial law was introduced by russia only on the temporarily occupied territory. Luhansk Regional Military Administration said that this means that additional pressure will apply exclusively to Ukrainians.
It will also make it even more difficult to leave the occupied territories, legalizing the confiscation of cars, detention and arrest of Ukrainian citizens who disagree with the russian occupation.
In Pryvillia, the russians have stepped up their counter-intelligence regime, trying to identify informants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces among the local population. A representative of the occupation administration of the town, driving around in a car equipped with a loudspeaker, threatened citizens to communicate with people on the territory controlled by the Government of Ukraine. If such cases are detected, women face arrest for 15 days, men – for 30 days.
The RVA reported that the occupiers have intensified checks of our citizens on the border of Luhansk oblast with russia. People with a Ukrainian passport are being checked extremely carefully by FSB officers. Some are detained for 30 days. The invaders continue to keep the cities occupied last year closed for entry and exit, allowing access only if you have a registration. A mandatory step for obtaining a russian passport in the so-called ‘lPR’ is to renounce Ukrainian citizenship. The russians continue to take children from the temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk oblast – the occupiers are trying to break the connection of Ukrainian youth with their native state.
In the year that has passed since the occupation of Sievierodonetsk, the authorities have managed to keep the community in evacuation, and after the liberation, the residents are ready to return. There are plans for reconstruction and negotiating with donors. 80% of Sievierodonetsk’s housing stock has been destroyed or damaged by the russians. The invaders are still powering water intakes with generators, so there is not enough capacity to supply water to high-rise buildings. The power supply in Severodonetsk is quite unstable.
4 Mavic quadcopters have been delivered to Ukrainian defenders fighting the occupiers in Luhansk oblast with the joint support of the region’s communities.
Kreminna Military Administration handed over three more drones to the military in Donetsk oblast. Recently, three more Mavicars were delivered to the frontline.
