About the situation in Luhansk region as of the morning of 04/23/2026

Gas has been cut off in Dovzhansk and other cities; massive fraud cases are reported by users from the "LPR" who were forced to install a mandatory Russian mobile application; the enemy fired mortars six times in Luhansk region

"Seven times over the past day, the invaders attacked in the Lymanske and Slovianske directions. Fighting took place near four settlements. The invaders used mortar installations six times in the territory of our region. They also struck with automatic grenade launchers and artillery. They directed four drones in our direction," Oleksiy Kharchenko, head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, informed.

In the so-called "LPR" recorded the largest number of frauds related to the use of the state Russian application, which the occupiers first forced all state employees, and then other citizens. Victims complain about the disappearance of money from bank cards, seizure of accounts, complete loss of access. The number of cases continues to grow. For some reason, there are much more victims in the occupied Luhansk region than in the territory of the Russian Federation.

In Dovzhansk and other cities in the Russian-occupied part of the region, gas supply disruptions have begun. Gas in local homes disappeared several days ago. Without warnings, schedules, or statements by the invaders about the timing of its restoration. Following the regular water and electricity cuts, the locals, who really wanted to go to Russia, began to get used to living without the blue fuel.
