The enemy is drawing up reserves to capture Siverodonetsk, Luhansk
region, while suffering huge losses in the process. Ukrainian defenders are gradually
pushing the invaders back.
That’s according to Serhiy Haidai, the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, who
spoke at the UA Razom telethon, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
"The situation remains difficult in the
region as a whole, and hostilities are now focused on Siverodonetsk as the
Russian army is throwing all its forces, all its reserves in this area. They
had previously managed to capture most of the city, but now our forces have
moved them back as the enemy is really suffering huge losses," said the
head of the region.

He noted that the Chechen ethnic units of the
invading force, the so-called Kadyrovites, usually avoid engaging in frontline
firefights but in Siverodonetsk they may have believed their own lies that the
city is already theirs, so they went into the city, so even the Kadyrovites
have some losses there.
According to Haidai, the Russians are blowing
up bridges "so that we cannot provide reinforcements to our guys who are
defending Luhansk region."
"Indeed, they fear that the success of
our defenders will develop. And this can be done just in time to supply
ammunition, weapons, reinforcements, that is, manpower reserves. This is the
first thing they are afraid of," the head of the administration stressed.
He stressed that that Luhansk region is now an
outpost that restrains the enemy's onslaught.
As reported, Russian forces are trying to
establish full control over Luhansk and Donetsk regions, but to date this goal
has not been achieved. Fighting has been going on in Siverodonetsk for some
time now.
