Quote: "Ruscists are preparing to cross the Siverskyi Donets River in Bilohorivka again… idiots. Some idiots understood why they were being sent there and the whole battalion refused to attack, but "fresheners" [new Russian soldiers] will soon join.

2,500 units of heavy equipment are already coming to us from the previously occupied territories. We are waiting for the next "underwater" episode in Bilohorivka."

Details: The Head of the Regional Military Administration added that the oblast (region) is preparing for two major Russian attacks on Sievierodonetsk and a breakthrough on the Lysychansk-Bakhmut road from Popasna and Bilohorivka.

According to Haidai, Ukrainians are being deported en masse from Popasna to the previously occupied territories in order to be mobilised and force them to fight against Ukraine. There is information that the occupiers are beginning to mobilise without a medical commission, and furthermore, according to Haidai, women will be sent to war.

He also said that the medical equipment in occupied Rubizhne is being stolen by the chief traitor doctor Eduard Kravchenko together with the kadyrovtsy [traditional Chechen security groups operating under the Rosgvardiya umbrella organisation -Ed.].

There is no [telephone] network in the Luhansk region. People do not leave the shelters. It is not possible to find out if relatives are alive, and there is no mobile network.

Background: 

• The 80th Separate Air Assault Brigade reported on 13 May that Ukrainian paratroopers thwarted attempts by the Russian occupiers to cross the Siverskyi Donets River 9 times: They destroyed the pontoons and equipment of the Russian occupiers.
• On 11 May, it was reported that the Ukrainian military had destroyed the pontoon crossings of Russian troops across the Siverskyi Donets River near the village of Bilohorivka in the Luhansk region.
