The head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, Serhiy Haidai, reported this.
“Soon I will show at least one de-occupied settlement (more precisely, what is left of it). We are waiting for information from the Ukrainian Armed Forces' General Staff,” he said.
Ukraine's Armed Forces are advancing in the direction of Kreminna. After the de-occupation of this settlement, the military will have a springboard for an offensive in the direction of Rubizhne and Sievierodonetsk, Haidai says.
“And from the latter, most likely, the occupiers will simply run away,” he noted.
Also, the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration spoke about the fact that the Russians deliberately destroyed house after house, and the villages near the frontline were burned down.
Earlier, Serhii Shakun, an officer of the Luhansk Region Territorial Defense of Ukraine's Armed Forces, said that near Kreminna, Russian troops are counterattacking every day, and the situation is ambiguous.
