The troops of the Russian Federation do not stop the massive shelling of settlements and fortifications of Ukrainian defenders on the border of the Lugansk and Donetsk regions for a day. This was announced by the head of the Lugansk OVA Serhiy Gaidai.

He also added that the Russian invaders yesterday, August 27, retreated in six directions..

According to the head of the OVA, the main efforts of the Russian troops were concentrated in the Bakhmut direction, where they are trying to break through from several cities and villages of the Luhansk region.

In particular, yesterday the invaders tried to break through the defenses of the Ukrainian military in six different places.. Twice organized an assault with the support of aviation. However, the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to stop each of these offensives and push back the invaders..

Russian aircraft carried out airstrikes near four settlements. Last night alone, 17 enemy artillery attacks were recorded. In five cases, the occupiers used multiple rocket launchers, four times tanks joined the attacks.

Gaidai also said that the development of mines and refineries is not relevant for the occupiers of Lisichansk.

“The occupation “authorities” are not interested in the restoration and further development of mines and an oil refinery, they only need administrative resources. That is why they offer paid work for officials, lawyers, bankers, economists, accountants.. Drivers and builders are relevant for working specialties in the city,” wrote the head of the OVA.

According to him, the invaders have already decided on the future of the coal mining industry in the territories occupied in 2014, where almost all the miners were sent to the front..

“Most likely, such a future awaits Lisichansk,” Gaidai added..

Earlier, Gaidai said that the Russian Federation has increased its fire influence, but it has no operational successes at the front. Limited tactical achievements, when they happen to the troops of the Russian Federation, the occupiers cannot turn into operational successes, therefore they freeze for months in occupied positions, and sometimes retreat to previous ones.
