Ukraine repulses two Russian offensives on administrative border of Luhansk region

The head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, Serhii Haidai, delivered the news via Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

"On July 22, there were at least two directions of offensive by the Russians in the region. Lysychansk and the surrounding occupied villages lie dozens of kilometers along the line that the Russians have been dreaming of advancing to for the past months. They submitted relevant reports to the leadership multiple times, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine had other plans and until today never allowed the enemy to realize these intentions," Haidai said.

According to the official, the front line in the Lysychansk direction remains “very large,” so the threat comes from different locations every time. Yesterday alone, the Ukrainian defenders successfully repelled the assaults in the direction of Verkhnokamianske and Siversk. Invaders have also become less confident in their power in recently captured towns and villages.

"About 10-15% of the pulation remained there. Mostly, it’s the elderly pele and the so-called ‘waiting ones’ (pro-Russian pulation – ed.) But the occupiers also see enemies in them. In Siverodonetsk, an office was ened to issue passes for movement across the occupied territory, which limits pele’s freedom of movement. Only after you stand in a long line, pass fingerprint IDying and vetting may you be allowed to go to the hospital in the neighboring town that’s if you don't die on the way," said the head of the Luhansk Region.

As reported, enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups have intensified their efforts in Luhansk region, which is due to the lack of ammunition among the Russian forces.
