Haidai: Invaders have destroyed 70% of Rubizhne, but town's defense unbreakable

“The defense of Rubizhne is unbreakable… Russian troops have demolished about 70% of the town by airstrikes and heavy shelling. The Ukrainian military holds the defense and actively destroys the enemy's offensive equipment and infantry," Head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration Serhiy Haidai posted on Telegram.

The heavy fighting in Rubizhne has been going on since March 18, 2022, he noted. During this period of more than 5 weeks, Russian propagandists have repeatedly declared victory and a complete "cleansing" of the city, but the defense of Rubizhne is steadfast.

“Glory to our defenders! Victory is coming soon!” Haidai emphasized.

On February 24, Russian president Putin announced the beginning of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops shell and destroy key infrastructure facilities, residential areas of Ukrainian cities, towns, and villages using artillery, MLRS, and ballistic missiles.
