About the situation in Luhansk region as of the morning of March 28, 2026

The Russians do not have the funds for three more mines in the LPR, the new elevator cabins installed in Siverskodonetsk have not been working for a year, and the enemy used mortars eight times in the Luhansk region.

"During the day, the Russians fired mortars, artillery, and grenade launchers on our front line. They fired mortars most often - eight times. They also directed 12 drones towards the Ukrainian defenders. They attacked the Lyman and Slovian directions 15 times," said Oleksiy Kharchenko, head of the Luhansk regional military administration.

The Russian authorities refuse to maintain the mines of the occupied Luhansk region. The relevant ministry confirmed that they do not have the funds to finance the Samsonivska-Zahidnaya, N.P. Barakov and Komsomolskaya coal mining enterprises. Currently, they are operating only in the life support mode. Since 2014, when the Russian Federation seized these territories, the mining operations at these facilities have not been repaired and the equipment has not been modernized. Russia refuses to do this at state expense. But they cannot find investors either.

In Siverskodonetsk, the Russians announced the probable replacement of several elevator cabins. However, almost every step of the invaders is a hidden deception. Yes, last year they also organized similar work in the city. And even completed it. However, about a year has passed, and the new elevators have not yet started working - people are forced to use the stairs. This demonstration of restoration, by the way, was also shown on Russian TV.
