Even on the last day of the defense of Lisichansk under heavy enemy fire, doctors saved people, rescuers put out fires, and the police recorded crimes, said the head of the Luhansk OVA Serhiy Gaidai. He told in what other settlements the enemy managed to gain a foothold.

“We kept the line, even when it already seemed impossible. Russians dominated ten times. This invasion destroyed the city and killed people. We took many wounded local residents to hospitals in Dnipro, Lvov or Ivano-Frankivsk. Just imagine that in the medical institutions of the Donetsk region, where it is already dangerous now, about 50 seriously wounded foxes are receiving or have already received assistance in recent weeks.. Those who needed hospitalization were evacuated even on the last day of defense. Just like firefighters saved the city from the flames when high-rise buildings caught fire,” Gaidai noted..

The head of the Luhansk OVA added that the Russian army had gathered forces in all possible directions and concentrated them in Lisichansk. Their advantage in personnel was leveled by the skill of Ukrainian defenders.

“However, the number of long-range weapons necessary to oust the enemy has not yet arrived to us.. Occupiers entrenched in Lisichansk. They also managed to force the Seversky Donets River in order to capture Belogorovka in the fifth month of the war.. Zolotarivka is already under the control of the Russians,” Gaidai concluded..
