"Almost every day we find new consequences of enemy shelling in frontline villages. Of course, these are mostly enemy shells hitting previously damaged buildings and structures that could not be restored. Because most of the village is almost completely destroyed. Russians regularly hit the surviving households. For example, recently in Nevske. The house was heavily damaged," said Artem Lysogor, head of the Luhansk RMA.

Nevske and Makiivka were shelled with cannon artillery over the past day. The invaders also used 47 unmanned aerial vehicles in the area of these villages.

"The enemy attempted to conduct offensive actions near Stelmakhivka, Makiivka, Nevske, and in Bilohorivka," the RMA said.

"The bridges in Luhansk are tired of Russia. In the 10 years since the city was captured, the Russians have not paid any attention to the infrastructure. Over the past two years, they have been engaged in only demonstrative repairs in the center. Until recently, one of the bridges over the Lugan River began to collapse. It was closed and they promise to try to rebuild it in a year. They also checked the condition of the other bridges, three of which, "surprisingly," also turned out to be in disrepair. So far, they have not completely blocked the traffic, because it would have caused a traffic collapse in the city. However, vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tons have been banned," the RMA said.

According to the RMA, "the situation on the border of the so-called ‘luhansk People's Republic’ with the Russian Federation is not changing for the better either." "Luhansk residents are outraged by the kilometer-long queues and thorough checks at the checkpoints. They say that despite the occupation authorities' promises to simplify control, nothing has changed in two years: "the Russians continue to treat the occupied territories as a reservation," the RMA said.
