The most difficult situation in #Ukraine is now in Luhansk region, #Severodonetsk and surrounding cities/villages.
Head of the regional administration Serhiy Haidai in interview told me some important things you should know: 🧵
Head of the regional administration Serhiy Haidai in interview told me some important things you should know: 🧵
“#Severodonetsk holds back a huge pile of Russian troops like #Mariupol held it in Donetsk region. In strategic military terms, the city is nothing, because #Lysychansk is close but much higher.”
“The only problem in #Ukraine is the lack of a long-range artillery. If there was enough artillery and ammunition for it, we would push back the enemy’s artillery, and I can guarantee that our military would clear the city completely in two days.”
“I am very annoyed by these European statements [like from France and Germany that they shouldn’t give heavy weapons to UA]. With their tolerance, it have led to the fact that #Ukraine is currently at war. It is their fault that there was no response [to Putin’s aggression].”
“All critical infrastructure - gas, water, electricity - is 100% destroyed in Luhansk region.”
“Many people were buried in yards. The arrival of heavy artillery tears people to pieces: there is a hand, there is a head… Bodies lie for a day, three, four, it is impossible to take them away.”
“Sometimes the neighbors go out to bury the bodies, new shelling comes - and they are being killed, too.”
No one evacuates people from #Severodonetsk anymore, there is no road. There are fragments on the roads that cut through the tires. 15% of locals remain in the city, and they can’t escape.

The interview was recorded in #Bakhmut, Donetsk oblast, the city where people help the neighboring Luhansk region with humanitarian aid and evacuation. Pretty close to the frontline.
