The Armed Forces of Ukraine are already near Kremennaya (a city in the Luhansk region, captured by the Russian Federation in April 2022), said the head of the Lugansk Regional Military Administration Sergey Gaidai, adding that it is worth waiting for good news from the General Staff.
According to Gaidai, the Kremlin set the Russian military task to capture Bakhmut. Because of this, they are trying to occupy all settlements between him and Lisichansky.
