Quote from Haidai: "They are scared because we are very close. The Russians blew up the bridge over the Krasna River near Krasnorichenske."

Details: Haidai has shown photos of the wrecked bridge.

He added that the occupiers had blown up another bridge near Kreminna (Luhansk Oblast) on 29 October.

Haidai stated that the Russian command tasked its troops with stopping the advance of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, but the weather was getting better, so "things would speed up for the defenders". 

The head of Luhansk Oblast Military Administration noted that the Russians systematically attack Bilohorivka, and after that they send troops ahead to scout, but these "traditionally do not return". 

Heavy fighting is also taking place on the Svatove front. 

The route between Svatove and Kreminna is under fire control by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so the Russians cannot quickly receive reinforcements or new ammunition in these areas of the contact zone.

According to Haidai, almost everything around Kreminna and Svatove was mined, including riverbanks, roads and bridges.

The situation on the Bakhmut front is very tense, too.

In addition, Serhii Haidai reported, citing intelligence sources, that in the course of the liberation of the village of Nevske, the Armed Forces of Ukraine killed 34 occupiers.
Three more Russian "contract soldiers" were captured. Ukraine’s Armed Forces also seized a military KAMAZ truck with ammunition and two infantry fighting vehicles.
