" In this direction, they threw a huge amount of equipment, personnel - more than one and a half battalion tactical groups of heavy equipment and a huge number of personnel. And they really had success and captured Toshkovka today,"

He said that now the invaders are shelling the entire territory of the Luhansk region controlled by Ukraine and do not leave attempts to cordon off our defenders, having seized the Lysichansk-Bakhmut highway. However, they are not successful in this..

The head of the UVA assured that the Ukrainian military understand the situation in the region and are ready for different scenarios. In particular, the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not afraid that they can be cordoned off.

At the same time, the enemy offensive near Lisichansk is being held back.. Gaidai stressed that the invaders are not yet able to enter the city or cut it off.

In addition, according to the head of the OVA, the Russian army loses dozens of soldiers in the region every day, and twice as many are injured..

“By the way, the daily number of wounded can be divided in half, and half will be guaranteed by 200. Because the nearest hospitals are overcrowded,"

Earlier, he already explained that the Russian military there die after being wounded in 50% of cases due to the lack of qualified medical care..

Recall that as of June 20, in Severodonetsk, Ukrainian servicemen controlled only the territory of the Azot enterprise, and battles with Russian invaders took place in the industrial zone.
