The Russian invaders have pulled all reserves and are preparing a large-scale offensive in Luhansk region in the near future. Serhii Haidai, the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, stated this.
"The Russians threw all reserves to the Sievierodonetsk and Bakhmut directions. They are trying to establish full control over the regional center and cut the Lysychansk-Bakhmut highway. They have no luck, they die en masse," Haidai said.
He added that despite the destruction of all bridges leading to Sievierodonetsk, communication with the city remains - there are routes for evacuation and transportation of everything necessary.
Lysychansk is under the full control of Ukraine. The city is under constant shelling, but a "quiet" evacuation is taking place, humanitarian supplies are brought in daily.
Also, according to him, the situation is difficult in the satellite villages of Sievierodonetsk. Difficult fights were in Metiolkine.
"Based on the number of reserves collected, we expect big offensives in the coming days," Haidai summed up.
