"Until now, 11 settlements in Luhansk, consisting mainly of small villages, have been freed from occupation."

Qazet.az reports according to to UNIAN that this was said by the head of Lugansk regional military administration Sergey Gayday.

He said that the advancement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Lugansk region is not as fast as in other areas:

"The main reason for this is the serious defense preparation of the other party. The Russian army has prepared sufficiently strongly in this direction."
