Luhansk region restrains invasion
< p> Ukrainian soldiers in the Luhansk region manage to restrain the invasion of the invaders and not let them into the rest of the territory of Ukraine. In intense battles, it is also possible to dismiss certain settlements. Gaidai noted that the Luhansk region is now the same outpost as Mariupol.
Recall that on May 7, infidels launched an airstrike on a school in Belogorovka, where about 90 people were hiding. At least 60 of them were killed, in particular, two volunteers.
On May 8, the Ukrainian defenders somewhat retreated from Popasna due to intense shelling by the Russians. Subsequently, Gaidai said that Popasnaya and Rubizhnoye had good news – our soldiers courageously held the defense in new positions, and the Russians' pontoon crossing in Belogorovka was destroyed.
