"With all the available weapons, the Russians shelled the territory of Luhansk region over the past day. They used multiple launch rocket systems. They struck four times with mortars and automatic grenade launchers. Seven times with cannon artillery. The invaders' combat missions were carried out by 26 drones," Oleksiy Kharchenko, head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, informed.

Instead of incentive payments, the Russian Federation is offering to write off debts to the bank for agreeing to contract service. Loans of up to 10 million rubles will be "forgiven" to a husband or his wife if he signed a contract with the Russian army after May 1, 2026. However, the debt will be written off only if there is already a court decision to collect money or the corresponding enforcement proceedings have been opened. This decision was made by the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Its effect will also extend to the so-called "LPR".

Over the past two years, the Luhansk branch of the Russian military center "Voin" has trained three thousand young men and women to serve in the Russian army. The classes were conducted by participants in the Russian-Ukrainian war and other wars waged by the aggressor country. Young people are taught how to fly UAVs, as well as engineering, fire, and tactical training.
