About the situation in Luhansk region as of the morning of 04/18/2026

95% of the water supply network in the "LPR" is in a state of emergency or close to it; in the occupied Luhansk region, children who were removed from their families are being prepared for war; the enemy attacked near Hrekivka

"Five times the enemy tried to advance on the Lyman and Slavyansk sectors of the front. In particular, in the Luhansk region, he attacked near Hrekivka. There he hit eight times with mortars. Three times he fired from cannon artillery. In two cases he used automatic grenade launchers. The occupiers' combat missions were carried out by 18 UAVs," said Oleksiy Kharchenko, head of the Luhansk regional military administration.

95% of the water supply system in the so-called "LPR" is in an emergency state or close to it. This applies to networks within settlements, main water pipelines, and pumping stations. The biggest problems are observed in the territory occupied in 2014 - in cities that avoided hostilities. But the inaction of the invaders in the housing and utilities sector for almost 12 years has led to a catastrophe.

In the Luhansk branch of the center "Warrior" began to form groups of children who were removed by the Russians from families who found themselves in difficult life circumstances. They also involve those who are raised in orphanages. They organize military sports events for them, conduct intensive fire training and teach them to operate drones. They form the opinion that the only future for them is war.
