Russian and Ukrainian forces are engaged in heavy fighting around the Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine. This was stated by the head of the Lugansk regional military administration Serhiy Gaidai on the FreeDOM TV channel..

“All the forces of the Russian army are now thrown there, all the reserves that they now have,” Gaidai said..

However, the Armed Forces of Ukraine inflict significant losses on the enemy, so the Russians had to reactivate almost all reserves up to the T-62 tanks.

According to the head of the OVA, the aggressor suffered a very large number of personnel losses: the hospitals and morgues of the Lugansk region are overcrowded.

In addition, over the past few days, many warehouses behind enemy lines have been blown up, destroying a huge amount of Russian ammunition and fuel..

Gaidai also stated that he had photographic evidence that Kadyrov's troops shot down a mosque in Severodonetsk..

Speaking about the situation in Lisichansk, from which Ukrainian troops withdrew a few days ago to level the front line, Gaidai said that 10,000 to 15,000 people remained in the city.

“The invaders are looking for the pro-Ukrainian population, negotiating with collaborators, showing apartments where military families lived, breaking down doors and throwing away clothes – complete deja vu with 1939, the actions of Nazi Germany,” Gaidai said..

As reported, the Russian occupation troops are consolidating their positions in the area of \u200b\u200bLisichansk and Verkhnekamenka.

Recall, on June 27, Russian troops fired from Hurricanes on a crowd of civilians who were fetching water in the city of Lisichansk, Luhansk region.
