Russian invaders attempt to break through to Siversk, open way to Bakhmut

The relevant statement was made by Luhansk Regional Military Administration Head Serhii Haidai on Telegram, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Via small settlements, Russians are attempting to break through to Siversk and open the way to Bakhmut. Hence, they are destroying everything they see in front of them. Now they are conducting the offensive in the direction of Verkhniokamianske. Battles are underway,” Haidai noted.

In his words, Russian troops launched 12 missile and air strike on settlements situated at the border of Luhansk Region and Donetsk Region. They continue massive artillery and mortar shelling, and use multiple launch rocket systems.

A reminder that, on February 24, 2022, Russia started a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops are shelling and destroying the key infrastructure facilities, opening fire on the residential areas of Ukrainian cities and villages with artillery, multiple launch rocket systems and ballistic missiles.
