This appears to be a tacit admission that the Russians do not expect Svatove, a key city on their now crumbling Donbas defensive line. JL

Russian occupiers have moved their "administration" from Svatove to Luhansk, the Oblast centre. "We get even closer to Svatove: the occupiers took ‘LPR administration’ out of the occupied town. The rats ran away, the ruscists already feel the approach of the Armed Forces of Ukraine so they collect the loot and go to Luhansk." The Russian invaders brought 15 officials from Novosibirsk to form the "authority" in the temporarily occupied Bilovodsk, Luhansk region.

Quote: "The administration of the Luhansk People’s Republic has moved to Luhansk.

We are even closer to Svatove… The rats are on the run, Ruscists get the feeling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine getting closer, so they take everything they stole and leave towards Luhansk."

Details: At the same time, according to Haidai, the Russians do not leave the de-occupied villages of the Luhansk Oblast. These are under fire around the clock; the attacks include the use of S-300 missiles and Shahed drones that they began to launch.

"We get even closer to Svatove: the occupiers took ‘LPR administration’ out of the occupied town. The rats ran away, the ruscists already feel the approach of the Armed Forces of Ukraine so they collect the loot and go to Luhansk," Serhiy Haidai, Head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, said during the nationwide news telethon.

At the same time, according to him, the invaders keep harassing the de-occupied villages of Luhansk region. "Russians know that about 150 local residents remain in Nevske but there is no concentration of military or facilities there. But they [Russians] still launch not only S-300 missiles but also Shahed drones at the village," Haidai emphasized. As reported, the Russian invaders brought 15 officials from Novosibirsk to form the "authority" in the temporarily occupied Bilovodsk, Luhansk region.
