About the situation in Luhansk region as of the morning of 08/13/2026

In Siverskodonetsk, the Russians allowed people to sign up for war via mobile phone even when the connection was turned off, they are preparing for war - in the "LPR" they are strengthening the physical training of high school students, the invaders struck in Luhansk region with cannon artillery

"Over the past day, the invaders shelled the territory of Luhansk region, using barrel artillery installations and drones. They carried out three UAV drops, tried to strike with two FPV drones. They had artillery support twice," Oleksiy Kharchenko, head of the regional military administration, informed.

The Russians attacked four times in the Lyman direction near two settlements.

There has been no mobile communication in Siverskodonetsk for several years. Until recently, you could only call emergency numbers from a smartphone. But there is another one - "117". It is used to register for military service in the Russian army. You can't call your family or a doctor, but the Russians allow you to go to war.

In the so-called "LPR" for students of 10th and 11th grades, the number of physical education lessons will be increased to three per week. The educational program will be changed at the expense of other disciplines. Because, according to the invaders, high school students should be as prepared as possible to go to war. This is the second adjustment of physical education teaching hours in a year - in 2025, it became mandatory to hold two lessons per week.
