The Russians captured Kreminna and killed several civilians, evacuation is impossible, fighting continues - Gaidai

This was announced by the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration Sergiy Gaidai.

"We asked people very strongly to evacuate, and planned trips along forest roads, but everything changed overnight. It’s hard to say how many civilians are left there. Where there are battles inside the city, it’s impossible to count people", Gaidai said.

Subsequently, the head of the RMA reported that the Russians had seized control of the city.

"The invaders have taken control of Kreminna!! The fighting continues. Evacuation from the city is no longer possible. People are being taken out of Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, Popasna, Girske and Rubizhne. Take care of your children!", wrote Gaidai.

Gaidai also said that the invaders shot at a civilian car, killing several people who were trying to leave the city.

"Invaders fired at a civilian car in Kreminna!! Previously, four people were killed, one was wounded. People tried to leave on their own. The rashists opened fire on them. Intentionally. Do not leave the shelters!!! Do not try to leave Kreminna on your own! It's dangerous!", wrote Gaidai.

In addition, the head of the RMA reported that six patrol officers were wounded in Lysychansk. Also, two people were killed and four others were injured as a result of the shelling of the city of Zolote.

"Zolote is at the epicenter of hostilities from the first day, this city is located on the demarcation line. There have always been hostilities, more active or less active. And since the beginning of a full-scale war, they are always shelling there, around the clock. This time, artillery shells flew into the house. At the same time, the Russian army knows exactly where they are shooting. It was on purpose that they shot at a five-story building so that the maximum number of people would die", Sergiy Gaidai said.
