"The enemy is trying to wedge into our defensive lines near Hrekivka, where the Ukrainian Defenders repel the enemy's onslaught every time. In total, the Russians carried out 19 assault operations on our front line during the day. 16 of them were in the Lyman direction. They used artillery twice. In 13 cases, they used unmanned aerial vehicles," said Oleksiy Kharchenko, head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration.

The invaders continue to deny the existence of a gasoline crisis in the so-called “LPR”. However, current prices and demand for fuel speak for themselves. Local “pekekuns” have been hoping for cheap gasoline from the Russian Federation for years. However, its prices in the occupied Luhansk region have doubled over the past two years. Moreover, after the shutdown of several Russian refineries, gasoline is becoming a scarce commodity.

In Seversko-Donetsk, the occupiers are going to dismantle four more high-rise buildings. Three are located in one of the blocks in the new districts of the city. Another one is in the old districts. These buildings were damaged by the Russians during the storming of the settlement in the spring of 2022. No work has been carried out there for more than three years. Dismantling activities are planned for the fourth quarter of this year. Residents have been hastily asked to independently remove the remains of belongings from the damaged housing.
