[Vesti] The Russian military has completely abandoned Kremennaya in the Lugansk region, but units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have not yet entered the city.

This was announced by the head of the Lugansk OVA Serhiy Gaidai.

According to him, the key to the complete de-occupation of the Luhansk region is the liberation of Liman, around which fighting is currently ongoing.

"Large-scale de-occupation of the Lugansk region will begin from Kremennaya and Svatovo, the Russians have already begun to pull equipment closer to these cities. The main blow will be there. To date, Kremennaya is completely empty - the Russian Army has left the city. The Ukrainian flag is flying there, which was raised by partisans," Gaidai emphasized .

He added that "somewhat similar situation" now in Starobelsk.

“But in Svatovo, the Resists first ran away, but after a while they returned,” he summed up.

Conditions improved for captured Ukrainians before UN visit to Yelenovka

[Vesti] In the colony of Yelenovka in the Donetsk region, the living conditions for prisoners have been improved. Andrey Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, told reporters about this on Tuesday, September 13.

He noted that the reason for such changes, most likely, was the visit of the UN mission, which may take place in the near future.

"For the first time in a very long period, even a hairdresser was invited. The diet is improving. Considering that the Russians know how to show off, this may indicate that they are preparing for the mission's visit. This is very good, and we hope that her work will be objective", Yusov told reporters.

As Vesti.ua reported, the authorities of the self-proclaimed "DPR" on the morning of July 29 announced the shelling of a colony in the uncontrolled Yelenovka, Donetsk region , where Ukrainian prisoners are kept. 53 people died.

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the explosions in Yelenovka, which resulted in the death of Ukrainian defenders, are a deliberate provocation and an unconditional act of terrorism on the part of the Russian invaders.

The thermobaric weapon of the Russian Federation was named as the cause of the explosion.

On August 3, UN Secretary General António Guterres during a press conference announced his intention to launch a mission that would establish the facts of the tragedy in Yelenovka, where Ukrainian prisoners of war died.
