About the situation in Luhansk region as of the morning of 05/13/2026

The occupiers have not demined the territory for 12 years - a child was blown up near Luhansk, builders in Siverskodonetsk completed external work and threw down a high-rise building, the enemy struck with mortars and artillery in Luhansk region

"The invaders launched five assaults in the Lyman direction, attacking near three settlements. In our region, they struck ten times with mortars, seven times with artillery, and in five cases they used automatic grenade launchers. Their combat missions were carried out by 11 drones," said the head of the Luhansk region, Oleksiy Kharchenko.

The Russians, who have seized the Luhansk region, are completely indifferent to the safety of civilians. The other day, a local teenager was blown up by a mine in the suburbs of Luhansk. This territory has been occupied since 2014. That is, for 12 years, the occupiers have not organized proper demining there. They do not need it.

Another contractor involved in a show-stopping renovation has disappeared in Siverskodonetsk. Having only done some facade work to give the high-rise building a more or less decent appearance from the outside, the mercenaries left the facility, located in the new districts of the city. But now its condition is close to emergency. Even the load-bearing walls are cracking. No one did anything inside the building.
