“Our situation is getting more complicated because, as I understand it, the enemy hurls all effort into breaking through the line of defense at least somewhere. They assault Rubizhne, assault Hirske community from the side of Zolote and Nyzhnie, assault the outskirts of Sievierodonetsk,” Head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration Serhiy Haidai said during the nationwide telethon, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
Over the past day, more than 2,000 units of enemy equipment moved through Luhansk region and invaders delivered many personnel as well, Haidai noted.
As noted, the enemy also tries to set pontoon crossings again to redeploy equipment and people across the Siversky Donets River near Bilohorivka. The invaders are constantly trying to erect a pontoon crossing at the same place, while the Armed Forces of Ukraine keep destroying it.
“More than 70 units of ruscist equipment have been burned there… Our guys destroy everything there, and they [invaders] build again. Maybe they want to make a crossing out of their smashed equipment as an option. I simply have no other explanation," said the Head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration.
As reported, Luhansk region is under constant Russian army attack. Many houses, infrastructure, educational institutions were destroyed, and all hospitals were damaged.
According to Haidai, more than 40,000 civilians remain in the region, refusing to evacuate.
The Russian invaders planned to capture the entire Luhansk region by May 9, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine offer heroic resistance.
