Quote from Haidai: "The captured city [Kreminna] is full of Russian military equipment. Fighting continues on its outskirts. The Russians are trying to cross the river."

Details: Head of Luhansk Regional Military Administration reported that over 3,500 citizens of Kreminna are currently under Russian occupation.

According to Haidai, Russian troops are terrorising the local residents by conducting cell phone checks and abducting Ukrainian patriots.

This is the Russian troops’ way of conducting counterintelligence operations, Haidai noted.

In addition, almost every single house in Kreminna has been looted.

The humanitarian situation in the city is difficult, food supplies have run out. There is no electricity or mobile service.
