"The enemy stormed our positions on two front lines 16 times yesterday. More often - in the Slavyansk sector. There were 11 assault attempts there. Another five - in the Lymansk sector. The areas of eight settlements were covered by combat operations," said the head of the regional military administration, Oleksiy Kharchenko. "In Luhansk region, the Russians opened fire with mortars eight times. They directed 11 unmanned aerial vehicles towards the Ukrainian defenders."

The Russian Federation is preparing for the State Duma elections, which are due to take place in September 2026. For the first time, parliamentarians will be elected in the occupied territories. In particular, in the so-called "LPR", where Russia has deprived the population of the right to vote in the elections of people's deputies, starting in 2014. However, the number of voters there, despite optimistic statements, is falling every year. Not everyone has a Russian passport. In order to increase the electorate, the Kremlin has extended the period for simplified registration of Russian citizenship, which was valid until the end of 2025. This allows people to have time to obtain Russian-style documents before the start of voting.

In the occupied Luhansk region, there is no humane and sustainable control over the population of stray animals. This problem is relevant not only in frontline cities, but also in those occupied almost 12 years ago. In particular, in Dovzhansk. On the streets of the settlement, flocks of stray animals are increasingly attacking passers-by. The occupation authorities do not care.
