About the situation in Luhansk region as of the morning of 05/26/2026

Bypass the months-long queue - in Siverskodonetsk, they offer to issue a Russian passport faster for money, the settlements of the Lutuhyn community have water for two hours a day, the enemy attacked from the direction of Novovodyanye

"Yesterday, the enemy shelled Luhansk Region with all available weapons. In particular, it struck three times with multiple launch rocket systems and artillery. It used automatic grenade launchers and drones three more times. In eight cases, it hit with mortars," said Oleksiy Kharchenko, head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration.

He added that the enemy tried to advance from the direction of Novovodyanye. In total, in the Lymansky direction, it attacked 17 times near eight settlements.

In Siverskodonetsk, the occupiers have created an artificial shortage of almost all administrative services. Wherever you go, there is a shortage of workers, limited reception hours, and no electronic registration, which is why queues are forming for the next few months. Yes, documents for applying for a foreign passport can be submitted only once a week. But in this case, the Russians decided to make a good living - they officially introduced a tariff for home service. You pay - your documents are accepted out of line. Once again - they will bring your passport home. If you don't want to pay - stand in line for six months.

Water is supplied to settlements in the Lutuhyn community for only two hours a day, in particular, in Bilorichensky.
A similar situation has been observed for many months. However, locals assure that this is not too bad for the so-called "LPR". Because in most cities and villages, water is supplied, enduring longer pauses.
