About the situation in Luhansk region as of the morning of 05/20/2026

The Russians notified residents of Siverskodonetsk of debts of thousands for heating, the occupiers introduced online entry into the Cossack corps, the enemy used cannon and rocket artillery in the Luhansk region

"The Russians launched 11 assaults yesterday on the Lyman sector of the front. They tried to advance near four settlements. In the Luhansk region, they struck with mortars, artillery, and multiple launch rocket systems. Their combat missions were carried out by 11 UAVs," Oleksiy Kharchenko, the head of the region, informed.

On the entrances of high-rise buildings located in the new districts of Siverskodonetsk, there are announcements about residents' debts for central heating. Paper media is the only way to report debts, because there is no Internet in the city. However, people are outraged not only by the fact that they learn the news from the fence. The amounts of debts are insane. In one of the buildings, they range from 19 thousand rubles to 28 thousand rubles. Non-payment is recorded in almost every apartment. It should be noted that in most apartment buildings there was no heating at all or the coolant was supplied already in 2026.

The invaders are doing everything they can to draw as many young people into the war as possible. Among the innovations is an online admission campaign to pre-university educational institutions subordinate to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. In particular, to the Cossack cadet corps. That is, parents will be able to decide the fate of their child without leaving home.
