Quote: "The orcs [Russian troops - ed.] blame local residents for the ‘pops’ at the Ruscist warehouses. They are looking for those who could have informed Ukrainian Armed Forces about the coordinates or simply have photographed the location of the targets.

In Kreminna, people are banned from using mobile phones. Moreover, people are being shot if the orcs feel like a person is talking on the phone too much. They see it as a sign that a person is involved in espionage."

Details: Serhii Haidai stated that since the beginning of the war, the largest number of Kadyrovites [the Chechen soldiers fighting as part of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - ed.] were killed by Ukrainian troops in the city of Sievierodonetsk.

The head of the Luhansk Oblast Military Administration also noted that the oblast has not yet been fully occupied and fighting continues in some towns.
