Russians instructed to break Ukraine Army’s defense in Luhansk region – Haidai

The Russian military leadership has set a task to break the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Luhansk region. Nevertheless, the Ukrainian military are gradually advancing.

The relevant statement was made by Luhansk Regional Military Administration Head Serhii Haidai during a nationwide telethon, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“The Russian military leadership has set a task to break the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Hence, fierce battles, shelling continue every day. But, this will not stop our military: they are moving forward every day, towards the liberation of the Luhansk region, although the progress is not as rapid as we would like it to be,” Haidai told.

In his words, the Ukrainian military are highly motivated, and it is better for them to go on the offensive than to sit in trenches.

According to Haidai, near the Svatove district’s Makiivka, Russians lost about 500 troops. Rashists do not take the bodies of their fallen soldiers from the battlefield, otherwise they would have to pay compensation to their relatives.

Russian troops continue attempts to re-capture Bilohorivka. If they get pushed farther away from this settlement, the Ukrainian Army will liberate Lysychansk next, and rashists clearly understand this, Haidai noted.
