Russians force Sievierodonetsk residents to dig trenches

"It became known what is happening to the residents of Sievierodonetsk who were caught trying to make a call from the roofs of apartment blocks. Previously, they were fined, then [invaders] started to detain them. However, this was not enough for the occupiers. People return and say that after being detained, they were taken outside the city and forced to build fortifications for the Russian military. They were digging trenches for two weeks," Head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration Artem Lysohor posted on Telegram.

He added that the occupiers continue to terrorize the civilian population, opening fire from artillery on the villages of Luhansk region. The day before, Nevske and the area around it were shelled again, as well as Dibrova and Bilohorivka, the latter was also attacked with an airstrike. The enemy tried to advance south of Dibrova, but had no success. Russian attempts near Nevske also were unsuccessful.

"The occupation administrations of Kadiyivka and Alchevsk are checked by FSB officers. They ask if they have relatives in Ukraine-controlled territory, they also ask the same about colleagues," Lysohor added.

According to him, everyone who has access to "state secrets" is also being checked. The Russians will take similar measures in every settlement to increase the rate of detection of spies in the so-called "LPR".
