"The Russians struck twice from multiple launch rocket systems, shelling the Luhansk region. They also used mortars and artillery over the past day. The invaders tried to strike the positions of the Ukrainian defenders with three FPV drones and five UAVs," Oleksiy Kharchenko, head of the regional military administration, informed.

Four settlements in the Liman direction were hit by nine enemy attacks.

The so-called "LPR" is wary of a low turnout in the elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Because almost the entire population of Luhansk region, along with thousands of evacuees, is included in the voting lists. In order to show at least some result, the occupiers announced in advance early voting, which will last almost three weeks - from August 28 to September 15. And then another three days of the main stage. During this time, they will collect votes in yards, public places, go to addresses - they will force people to vote even if they do not want to.

At some point, the safety margin laid down in the housing and communal services facilities of Luhansk until 2014 was going to end. For 12 years, Russia did not invest in major repairs and the construction of new facilities. Gradually, everything that was not restored began to fail. Even drinking water is supplied on schedule - for four hours twice a day. This is due to power outages at pumping stations. The Russians did not foresee autonomous systems at critical infrastructure facilities.
