The LNR ambassador to Russia spoke about the hacking of the AFU defense on the Svetlodarsk arc
The LNR Ambassador to the Russian Federation Rodion Miroshnik reported the hacking of the Svetlodarsk arc. In his opinion, the Ukrainian defense has crumbled. The Headquarters of the Territorial Defense of the Donetsk People's Republic reported that since the beginning of the military special operation in Ukraine, 219 settlements have been taken under control. Miroshnik also recommended residents of Severodonetsk and Lisichansk not to leave the shelter, fearing provocations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"The defense has crumbled"
Miroshnik wrote in his Telegram channel that part of the strategic highway Lisichansk - Artemovsk was taken under fire control. It is practically impossible for "Ukrainian formations to move along it."
"Attempts are being made to move only in small groups and across fields. They come under fire from allied forces and are destroyed. Neither the rotation of manpower, nor the delivery of ammunition and supplies to Severodonetsk and Lisichansk is practically impossible," the ambassador wrote.
According to him, in these cities, clusters of residents have become dangerous, since any group of people "can be hit." Miroshnik believes that for the APU, local residents are "strangers and only a target for painful blows."
"There was a shot from Lisichansk from Melnikov's turn in the workshop on the territory of the Severodonetsk Nitrogen. According to local residents, as a result, four civilians were killed and three are in serious condition. We waited for people to gather and struck there," the diplomat said.
He added that Gorsky and Zolotoye were being stormed. The LPR military and its allies are advancing towards Maloryazantsevo and Volcheyarovka.
"After breaking the Svitlodarskaya Arc and taking control of a number of settlements by allied troops, the once monolithic defense of Ukrainian formations crumbled," Miroshnik believes.
Earlier, the assistant to the Foreign Minister of the LPR Vitaly Kiselyov said that about 15-16 thousand Ukrainian servicemen and mercenaries got into the "cauldron" near Severodonetsk and Lisichansk in the Luhansk People's Republic.
219 localities
The official representative of the People's Militia of the LPR, Ivan Filiponenko, said that the forces of the Luhansk People's Republic also took control of the village of Toshkovka.
"The People's militia of the enemy knocked out of Toshkovka and continues the liberation," Filiponenko said in a video posted on the Telegram channel of the department.
He added that Ukrainian troops, leaving the territory, "totally destroy" all civilian infrastructure and civilian homes. The official representative of the People's Militia of the LPR also demonstrated empty ammunition boxes left at the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, pointing to their foreign markings.
According to Filiponenko, over the past day, the LPR soldiers destroyed a tank, eight enemy armored personnel carriers, seven units of automotive equipment and 27 people of the Armed Forces.
The People's Militia of the Republic throws leaflets at the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a call to lay down their arms. The military of the LPR took control of Svetlodarsk, Lugansk, Mironovsky and Toshkovka.
According to RIA Novosti, Luganskoye is a fairly large village in the vicinity of Svitlodarsk occupied the day before on the territory of the DPR. In addition, this is an important point in the offensive on Artemovsk (now Bakhmut), which is being developed by the People's Militia of the LPR.
Filiponenko also recalled that the military commissariats of the Republic continue to work normally and everyone who wants to join the ranks of the People's Militia of the LPR can apply to them.
The Headquarters of the territorial Defense of the Donetsk People's Republic reported that since the beginning of the military special operation in Ukraine, the grouping of the DPR and LPR troops with the fire support of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation took control of 219 settlements.
On the eve of the head of the Donetsk People's Republic Denis Pushilin said that 28 settlements in the north of the DPR can be considered under control. He added that there is an active phase of the liberation of the city of Krasny Liman.
"The divisions of the Russian Federation together with the people's militia of the DPR and LPR entered the city itself. About half of the city is under our divisions," he told the Interfax news agency.
And the official representative of the People's Militia of the DPR, Eduard Basurin, said that the republic's forces do not plan to enter Avdiivka. At the same time, he noted that it is planned to block the logistics routes of the Ukrainian forces in the city, after which negotiations will begin.
