The Russians are trying to take the "last fortress of Donbass"

After capturing Severodonetsk, Russian troops focused on attacking Lysichansk, the last city in the Lugansk region that is under Ukrainian control. This was announced by the head of the Lugansk regional military administration Sergei Gaidai .

After the withdrawal of units of the Ukrainian troops, the enemy entrenched himself in Severodonetsk, Sirotino, Voronovo and Borovskoye.

Airstrikes were inflicted on the city, as well as in the area of Belaya Gora. There is a lot of destruction - Lisichansk is almost unrecognizable. There is a television tower on the ground, a road bridge is seriously damaged, shells hit houses, the building of the SBU, etc. The body of a man with no signs of life was found on the territory of a multidisciplinary hospital. He received numerous mine-explosive injuries,” Gaidai said.

After the withdrawal of units of our troops from Severodonetsk, the invaders finally fired on Azot and the State Emergency Service training ground in Severodonetsk, opened fire on the villages of Pavlograd and Sinetsky, tested the already destroyed and shelled bridges to Lisichansk for strength.

There is also a lot of destruction from Russian strikes in Volchoyarovka, Loskutovka, Verkhnekamenka and Zolotarevka.

Lisichaansk is a city in the north-west of the Lugansk region of Ukraine, one of the largest cities in the region. It is part of the Severodonetsk region.
