Earlier today, the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, Serhii Haidai, said that despite the difficult situation, the Russians could not take Sievierodonetsk under siege.

He also said that Russian troops are constantly shelling the Bakhmut-Lysychansk highway, which is why an attempt to drive through it becomes a lottery.
