About the situation in Luhansk region as of the morning of 05/18/2026

In the Luhansk center "Warrior", Russian military personnel trained over 600 teachers in the subject "Defense of the Homeland", three times a month the occupiers turn on the water supply to the residents of Anthracite, the invaders used rocket artillery in the Luhansk region

"The invaders directed 11 drones towards our defenders in the Luhansk region. They struck twice with mortars. They also fired rocket and barrel artillery. The Russians attacked in the Lyman direction eight times," Oleksiy Kharchenko, the head of the region, informed.

In the Luhansk center "Warrior", the Russian military trained more than 600 teachers in the subject "Defense of the Motherland". All of them had to take mandatory courses at this military-sports center, where militants who participated in the Russian-Ukrainian war teach. School teachers are taught the basics of national security, engineering, fire, tactical training, and UAV control. It is according to this program that the latter must prepare children during lessons in educational institutions of the so-called "LPR".

In the city of Anthracite, captured in 2014, a humanitarian catastrophe is expected. At first, centralized water was supplied there hourly. Later, it began to be interrupted for a day or two. Now, locals are getting used to the appearance of water in the taps once every 10 days. That is, three times a month. It should be noted that the fighting bypassed this settlement. There was no destruction either. Only the Russians were there.
