A strip from the settlement of Bilohorivka (Luhansk Oblast) to Toretsk and New-York (Donetsk Oblast) will now be in his zone of responsibility.

The settlements of Chasiv Yar, Toretsk and New-York are among the hottest spots of this axis.

Before Drapatyi, the Luhansk Operational Strategic Group was led by Colonel Ledovyi.
