[Vesti] At the moment, fierce battles are going on in the Luhansk region in two settlements. On Saturday evening, July 16, the military head of the Lugansk regional administration, Leonid Gaidai, spoke about this. Thus, he partially refuted the words of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Shoigu about complete control over the Lugansk region.

"I can say - yes, they control most of the region, but fierce battles are going on in two settlements , they cannot get through there, they are losing both personnel and a huge amount of equipment. The assaults are constant, but so far nothing has come of them," - said Gaidai on Ukrainian television.

According to Gaidai, the Russian army wants to regroup and continue to storm Bakhmut from different sides, but today these attempts have been unsuccessful. The head of the region confirmed that now the enemy is delivering resources (equipment, ammunition, etc.) immediately to the front line, they have no "short shoulder" because of the executions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, enemy warehouses.

And it did us good, because the number of attacks decreased. At the same time, the enemy’s DRGs were weakened or liquidated, the head of the Luhansk region noted and emphasized that the enemy forcibly mobilizes all men in the occupied territories and is experiencing problems with working personnel. Even the miners are given rides at night.

There are no opportunities for evacuation from the settlements of the region controlled by the Ukrainian authorities yet - the density of shelling does not allow, Gaidai specified.
