About the situation in Luhansk region as of the morning of 08/16/2026

The occupants charged residents of Rubizhne thousands of rubles for unpaid housing and utilities, instead of shops, in small settlements of the "LPR" auto shops deliver groceries twice a week, the enemy fired automatic grenade launchers at the Luhansk region

"Near seven settlements on the Lymanskaya sector of the front, Ukrainian Defenders stopped the enemy of the past day. There, the Russians made nine assault attempts," said the head of the regional military administration, Oleksiy Kharchenko, and reported on the shelling in Luhansk. "The invaders fired mortars four times. They launched three drones and directed six FPV drones towards our defenders."

In Rubizhne, locals received payments for the consumption of housing and communal services with significant amounts of charges made by the occupation authorities. Indignation was caused by five-figure sums for heating, which was not provided, as well as debts for maintenance of the territory, which was actually not performed. There are complaints - there are no answers and appropriate actions.

Small settlements of the occupied Luhansk region are cut off even from the low level of civilization offered by the so-called "LPR". In the vast majority of villages and settlements there are no post offices, pharmacies or FAPs, shops. Food is delivered there only twice a week, when the car shop is open - that is, they "trade from the wheels". On other days, it is impossible to buy food
