Quote from Haidai: "The situation is extremely difficult along the entire Luhansk Front. We emphasise that the ‘orcs’ [Russian soldiers] are launching a large-scale offensive in our Oblast; they have accumulated sufficient reserves and today (on 20 June - ed.) all free settlements of the oblast are on fire.

In Sievierodonetsk, fighting is already underway in the industrial zone, with Ukrainian troops controlling only the territory of the Azot plant."

Details: According to Haidai, the occupiers are advancing along the Lysychansk-Bakhmut road, and the nearby settlements are under constant fire.

Lysychansk has been suffering from massive Russian shelling all day. The number of casualties is currently unknown.

At the same time, the head of Luhansk Oblast Military Administration said that Ukrainian defenders were not surrounded and inflicted significant losses on the Russian forces: "Hospitals and morgues in the occupied territories are full of Ruscists."
