The Russians are closing some cities in the Luhansk region for entry and exit in order to look for their deserters. The head of the Lugansk OVA, Serhiy Gaidai, announced this on the air of the telethon..

“In the occupied territories, rashists continue to close cities. Following Rubizhne and Lysychansk, it is now difficult to get to Severodonetsk. The Russians are looking for their deserters,” he said..

The head of the OVA also added that the occupiers continue to throw dust in the eyes of the residents of the occupied territories regarding the so-called housing repairs..

“The windows are not the right size and the water is knee-deep: in Severodonetsk, the invaders turned on the heating in one of the houses and the nine-story building was completely flooded,” Gaidai said..

The official also said that now the situation on the line of fire in the Luhansk region is controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Enemy attacks are repulsed, heavy fighting continues. At the same time, information about new liberated settlements should be expected only from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“The reserves that the rashists are pulling in our direction do not help them. Success for the APU. Therefore, the Russians traditionally vent evil because of the defeats on the civilian population: de-occupied villages are shelled almost around the clock. More and more often we have wounded,” Gaidai concluded..
