On Sunday, July 31, the Ukrainian military neutralized two reconnaissance groups of invaders in the Luhansk region. Russian troops want to develop the offensive on Bakhmut, but fail, said the head of the Luhansk OVA Sergei Gaidai.

" The occupiers were sure of a quick and easy victory, they changed the dates of victory, but already on August 1, and they had nothing to report about. So far, the strength and nature of the actions of the enemy grouping remain unchanged..

That is, the tactics are the same as the battles in the Lugansk region,"

He noted that over the past 24 hours, Russian troops fired at settlements and positions of our troops seven times from cannon artillery and mortars..
