Quote from Vlasenko: "As of today, according to the information we have, Toshkivka is under full control of the Russians. They are trying to push back the defences put up by our guys [i.e., the Ukrainian troops - ed.] between Myrna Dolyna and Hirske.  Yesterday they were stopped, but they continue to press on."

Details: According to Vlasenko, the entire Luhansk Oblast is currently the epicentre of the clash between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Russian army.

Vlasenko believes that this week might be pivotal and the hostilities will ramp up.
