About the situation in Luhansk region as of the morning of 05/10/2026

The Russians are going to "nationalize" 150 commercial facilities in Luhansk, the "LPR" is holding an online vote for development facilities - there is no internet in half of the region, the enemy struck with artillery and mortars in Luhansk region

"Enemy shelling on the territory of our region does not stop. So, yesterday the Russians used mortars on four occasions. Twice - artillery. Drones were actively used," said the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, Oleksiy Kharchenko.

In total, the enemy attacked five times near four settlements in the Lyman direction.

The Russians are going to "nationalize" 150 commercial properties in Luhansk. Following residential real estate in the city, non-residential properties have also been inspected. So far, about 150 buildings have been found there that show signs of being ownerless. Among them may be not only long-abandoned properties, but also those where the owner has not appeared for only three months, or if the utility bill has not been paid.

In the so-called "LPR" online voting is being held for improvement projects. It is almost impossible to cast your vote for a project that the occupation authorities promise to start restoring next year in many settlements. In particular, in frontline cities, the Internet is completely disconnected. No connection - no restoration. This has led to the fact that the cities captured by Russia in 2014, which practically avoided hostilities and destruction, are winning the vote. These are Alchevsk, Rovenky, Khrustalny. Residents of destroyed settlements have once again become hostages of the conditions that Russia has created for them.
