About the situation in Luhansk region as of the morning of 02/28/2026

75% of the garbage truck fleet in the "LPR" is in a state of disrepair, schoolchildren from Lysychansk and Rubizhne are being taken to Tatarstan, 11 mortar attacks were carried out by the Russians on our sector of the front

"Of the 11 attacks that the enemy carried out on our directions, seven took place on the Slavyansk sector of the front. Five settlements were under pressure from the Russians. In Luhansk region, they carried out 11 mortar attacks. The invaders also targeted with automatic grenade launchers and used 11 drones," noted Oleksiy Kharchenko, head of the Luhansk regional military administration.

The problem of garbage collection in the cities of the occupied Luhansk region has not been solved for years. The situation has not improved with the introduction of an environmental operator. After all, 75% of the fleet of equipment for handling solid municipal waste is in a state of disrepair and needs urgent replacement. The other day, the Russians found 19 extra garbage trucks and transferred them to the so-called "LPR". Even one for each city is not enough. However, the invaders promise that they will soon increase the number of settlements in which garbage collection services will be provided.

Every spring, the Russians take school graduates from Lysychansk and Rubizhne to a region that is supposed to provide patronage - Tatarstan. They leave no choice to either the boys or girls or their parents, intensifying the policy of assimilation of Ukrainian youth. There, they are first offered to better prepare for entering higher education institutions, and then offered not to return home.
