"The Russians launched six assaults yesterday on the Lymanskaya sector of the front. They attacked near four settlements. On the territory of our region, they fired mortars five times. Four times - with barrel artillery. Three times they fired from automatic grenade launchers. They actively used drones," said the head of the Luhansk region, Oleksiy Kharchenko.

For more than three years, Siverskodonetsk has been without any communication, except for landline. Of course, you can still call the "hot" numbers if the dispatcher shows a desire to pick up the phone. The most common option for maintaining communication with family and friends within the city is to purchase walkie-talkies. During this time, such devices have appeared in everyone who has the money for it. They are also buying them for children. Russia does not promise to restore communication to the city even on the eve of the State Duma elections.

A critical situation with doctors has arisen in Starobilsk. Most specialists left the city and surrounding settlements after the start of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation. Some vacancies were filled by those who moved to Starobilsk from Siverskodonetsk, Lysychansk and Rubizhne, which were destroyed by the Russians. However, these are isolated cases. The city is extremely short of both therapists and pediatricians, as well as narrow specialists.
