Russia is gathering military equipment and personnel in the occupied part of the Luhansk region, Sergei Gaidai said.
The Russian invaders were gathering equipment and troops in the Svatovsky region. They consider those who retreated from the Kharkov region deserters. This was announced by the head of the military administration of the Lugansk region, Sergei Gaidai, on his Telegram channel on Saturday, September 17.
He noted that earlier the invaders planned to hold a pseudo-referendum in the occupied territories on September 11, but after the successful counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region, it was postponed indefinitely. .
The UVA leader added that the occupiers are shutting down the Internet in the occupied territories. Also, the Russians continue to use educational institutions in the temporarily occupied territories to accommodate military personnel and equipment.
In Khomovka in the Svatovsky district, military equipment was located on the territory of the local agrarian lyceum, and enemy personnel were located in the buildings.
Gaidai added that the invaders called those who retreated from the Kharkov region deserters. In particular, we are talking about the Russian invaders from the 202nd Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Army Corps, who were forced to flee under pressure from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Gaidai previously said that the de-occupation of the Luhansk region could begin after the liberation of the city of Liman.
Also on September 15, he said that the Russians were gathering troops in Svatovo and Troitskoye for the defense of the Lugansk region.
