"We lose about the same amount of housing in these communities every day," Haidai said.
"Following the town of Popasna, the Russians are destroying nearby settlements. They don't need people and their homes – only the territory that the enemy turns into a desert. Half of the 30 attacks were recorded there on May 13."

According to Haidai, over the past day, seven high-rise buildings were also damaged in Sievierodonetsk and one in Rubizhne, where two private houses were also destroyed.
In Lysychansk, the administrative building of the rubber technical products factory was destroyed as a result of artillery shelling by Russian troops.
"However, the enemy continues firing near Rubizhne, so the destruction may be much greater," Haidai said.
