“The situation is equally difficult on the Kreminna and Svatove sections, but the enemy is not making any progress there. There are no significant advances or anything else.”

Hayday also said that the Russian troops are suffering significant losses in Luhansk Oblast every day.

"They lose up to a company of soldiers per day, but this does not reduce the number of offensive waves," he said.

“These waves are constantly coming one after the other in order to somehow exhaust our defenders, push through them, and move on to either Kharkiv or Donetsk oblasts.”

The situation in Luhansk Oblast remains difficult despite Ukrainian Armed Forces controlling the situation, Hayday said. The most difficult spot is near the town of Kreminna, he said.
