The Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost control over Metelkin near Severodonetsk, said the head of the Luhansk Police Department Serhiy Gaidai. He reported on the situation in the region.

“Rashists intensified artillery and air attacks. Powerful Russians drive through the Severodonetsk industrial zone and the city's environs. The same in the areas of Toshkovka and Ustinovka, because the orcs want to make a breakthrough there, and for this they pulled a large amount of equipment there. Fighting is going on in many villages around Severodonetsk and Lysychansk. Unfortunately, now we do not control Metelkino near the regional center,” Gaidai said..

In addition, the enemy continues to use creeping tactics. In particular, the Luhansk region, according to Gaidai, is being exterminated with the help of all possible weapons..

" From the settlements where active hostilities continue, people are taken out by the military on armored vehicles,” Gaidai said..
