This was reported by the head of the Lysychansk Regional Council Valery Shibiko in a comment to Radio Svoboda. "As much as we would like to take everyone out, the flow has increased a lot in recent days, and the shelling has also increased. We took out those we could, but I think we were unable to reach some areas in the depths of Lysychansk," he said. According to Shibiko, some of the people who remain in the city were really waiting for the arrival of the Russian army . These are older people who still remember the Soviet Union, they are waiting for it and have waited. "They believe that the Soviet Union has come to them now," he said. As previously reported, the occupiers gained a foothold in Lysychansk . They also managed to force their way through Siverskyi Donets in order to capture Beilohorivka in the fifth month of the full-scale invasion. In addition, they occupied Zolotarivka. The main thing for the day. Monday, July 4 [LB] Ruined Luhansk region, HIMARS at work, our national idea and Spinraza in Ukraine. How will the 131st day of the full-scale war be remembered. The Russian invaders, in order to justify the destruction of civilian objects - churches, schools, hospitals - make information about the location of Ukrainian military units there. The command urged Ukrainians to trust information only from verified sources and not to spread Russian fakes and disinformation. Meanwhile, Ukrainian defenders, as the General Staff said, continue to inflict losses on the Russians and repulse many enemy attacks.

The occupiers left. The head of the Luhansk regional military administration , Serhiy Gaidai , said that a small part of the territory of the Luhansk region still remains under the control of the Ukrainian military.
