"The Russians carried out 20 assault operations in the Lyman direction. In Luhansk region, they intended to advance in the areas of Novoyehorivka and Hrekivka. In our zone of responsibility, they used artillery and unmanned systems at least 12 times, trying to hit the fortifications of our defenders," said Oleksiy Kharchenko, head of the Luhansk regional military administration.

If in the frontline areas of Luhansk region, using the Internet is prohibited at all, except for individual pro-government figures, then in many other cities and villages, access to the Internet by Russians is significantly limited. The invaders are not only reducing its speed. The local population is unable to access the vast majority of Internet resources. Websites with Russian state services, services of Russian banks, some government-controlled social networks, and marketplaces remain freely accessible. The occupiers are returning Luhansk residents to the mid-90s, when there were not much more websites than keys on the keyboard.

Critical infrastructure facilities in the so-called "LPR" are outdated and cannot withstand the loads. This is especially noticeable in the territory captured in 2014, where the occupiers have not paid attention to solving utility problems for 11 years. Another one of them arose at one of the pumping stations. Because of this, about 150 thousand residents of Khrustalne, Antratsy, Petrovo-Krasnosilya and a number of smaller settlements were left without drinking water.
