Ukrainian Armed Forces advance step by step towards Kreminna and Svatove - Haidai

This was announced by the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration Serhiy Haidai on Espreso.

"Collaborators understand what is happening. Russian TV constantly tells the same narratives that everything will be aligned. "Soledar, Bakhmut, then access to the administrative borders of Luhansk region". In fact, our Defense Forces are gradually de-occupying Luhansk region, albeit with difficulty, in hellish conditions and very heavy battles. Step by step they are moving towards Kreminna and Svatove," he said.

• On January 14, the head of the military administration of Severodonetsk district Roman Vlasenko reported that tank battles continued around Kreminna.
