Russia sends insanely a large number of fighters and weapons to take Luhansk

Russia sent "an insane number of fighters and equipment" to Luhansk to put down the last Ukrainian resistance in the north of Donbass, warned the governor of the region.

Serhij Haidai warned that Sewerodonezk, the last city in Luhansk occupied by Ukraine, runs the risk of being transformed into another Mariupol, the southern port city, which had practically united the Russian troops during a two -month siege.

"The Nazis [Russian] brought an insane number of fighters and equipment to our region," said the governor in a contribution in the Telegram messaging app.

"The orcs have helicopter and heavy weapons in the occupied areas."

In order to achieve a big victory on the battlefield, Russian troops tried to surround the neighboring cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, the conquest of which Moscow would give control over more than half of the eastern Donbass region.

The interconnection of the remaining Ukrainian resistance nests would essentially cut all the post -drawers from Kiev into the area.

"The Russians are moving in the Luhansk region at the same time in all directions," added Mr. Haidai.

The governor said that Russian troops had conquered the main street between Lysychansk and Bachmut, which connects the regions of Luhansk and Donetsk, which form the Donbass.

The route, which is considered the so -called "Lebensstraße", continues to Sewerodonezk.

Complete control over the street would not offer any escape route from the remaining city in Luhansk occupied by Ukraine, which increases the view of brutal siege.

In their morning military update on Wednesday, the Ukrainian armed forces reported violent battles in the region, whereby Russian troops were using heavy artillery to cover their advances.

The Ukrainian general staff also found that Moscow was forced to fly more air missions over the east of the country due to dwindling supplies to precision rockets.

"The Russian enemy reinforced the use of airplanes to support the offensive of his soil," said the official.

"Due to the lack of stocks of high -precision rocket weapons, the Russian enemy is looking for other ways to destroy critical and military facilities in Ukraine."

Russian movements in Luhansk

In view of the progress of Russia in the east of the country, the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj asked Western governments to continue to throw weapons to Kiev.

"Now the Situation in Donbass is extremely difficult," he said in his night spending.

"In fact, the whole strength that the Russian army still has was thrown there to attack. Lyman, Popasna, Sewerodonezk, Slowjansk - the occupiers want to destroy everything there."

he added: "The delivery of heavy weapons to Ukraine- MLRS, tanks, ship defense and other weapons- is the best investment to maintain the stability in the world and prevent many serious crises that Russia has still plans or has already provoked."

In the meantime, US and British intelligence reports published the Russian sea blockade, published on Wednesday, which has stopped grain deliveries from Ukraine. Vladimir Putin, the Russian President, has accused

Western leaders of deliberately destabilizing global food supply.

A US official said: “The effects of the actions of Russia cannot be underestimated because sea exports of Ukraine are of crucial importance for global nutritional safety.

"Ukraine delivers about 10 percent of worldwide wheat exports, and the vast majority of these exports - about 95 percent in 2020 - went through ports on the Black Sea."

In his Daily Intelligence Update, the British Ministry of Defense said on Wednesday: “Since the beginning of the war, there have been no significant merchant activities in or from Odessa.

"Russia's subsequent sea blockade of important ports on the Black Sea has prevented the commercial shipping industry from operating in the region."

It added: "The struggle has already indirectly put pressure on global cereal prices. While the threat of the Russian sea blockade continues to make it difficult to access merchant shipping to the Ukrainian ports, the resulting supply bottlenecks will further increase the price of many basic foods."
