Independence Day in the Lugansk region began turbulently. The occupiers launched powerful attacks on the region, trying to avenge the rebelliousness of the Ukrainians.
As the head of the Lugansk OV Sergey Gaidai said, the Russians “congratulated” the Lugansk region on Independence Day with 35 powerful attacks and three rocket strikes.

Gaidai recalled that the occupiers have been standing still for half a year. While the people of Lugansk lost their homes, they saved the country.
It was our region that took upon itself the most powerful blow of the Russian army. However, the Ukrainian fighters managed to hold back the enemy, which allowed other regions of the country to prepare for a possible defense. Half a year – unconquered, – he stressed.
According to him, the enemy does not have the opportunity to proclaim the capture of the Lugansk region, because the fighting is still ongoing in a small area of the region.
“Our soldiers are holding the line and on Independence Day. You see that the Russians have not had significant victories for the past two months, because each region managed to prepare while the enemy is being slowed down in the East,” Gaidai explained.
How the day went in the region
The night was restless at the front. Settlements and fortifications of Ukrainian troops on the border of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions withstood 3 missile strikes and one air attack. In particular:
- 13 times the Russians fired from cannon artillery,
- and another 17 from multiple launch rocket systems.
In addition In addition, mortars were used 5 times, Russians were forced to retreat 6 times when they tried to attack.

Potential of Russians is gradually drying up, – analyst
Alexander Musiyenko, head of the Center for Military Legal Research, said that it is hot and rather difficult in some areas in the East. But it is clear that the Russian invaders are already exhausted there.
They often use, for example, not languid artillery, but mortars to strike at positions. And it is clear that their potential is gradually exhausted, – said the military analyst.
Therefore, he added, soon the front line may finally stabilize and infidels will be forced to take a break to understaff their units through the reinforcements they can form. Otherwise, the Russians simply will not be able to continue offensive operations, because our defenders exhaust them, exhaust them and stop them.
