He said this on the air of the Espreso TV channel.

"There are three frontline areas in the Luhansk region: Bilohorivka, Kreminna and Svatove. The most difficult situation is in Kreminna. Powerful forces are concentrated on both sides, the front line remains virtually unchanged. In the area of Bilohorivka our guys are on the defense. There is a certain advance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the direction of Svatove," noted Vlasenko.

According to him, a large number of Russian army units have arrived at the contact line in recent weeks.

"The leadership of the so-called LPR has been tasked to improve logistics and mobilization rates. In the near future we will have a new wave of terror against the local population. They will catch men again and drive them to military commissariats. Hits by the Ukrainian army are disrupting the logistics of the occupation forces in the Luhansk region. The strikes targeted the enemy's manpower and equipment in Kadyivka, Alchevsk, Bryanka and Rubizhne," Vlasenko emphasized.
