Gaidai speaks of heavy losses of occupants in Luhansk Region

Russian invaders are losing "thousands of soldiers" in battles near Bakhmut, Luhansk Region's head Serhiy Gaidai told a TV marathon

As for Bakhmut, it's no longer even in strategic military terms, although there is that, but more symbolism, which the Kremlin regime loves very much. Plus the "Kadyrovites" and "Wagnerites" want to prove and show the bunker grandfather that they can do something. But so far they are losing thousands of their soldiers there

Gaidai said that even with the heavy losses, the enemy's plans remain unchanged, the Russians want to occupy the Donetsk and Lugansk regions entirely.

The speed of Russian troops' advance in the Bakhmut area has slowed in recent days. Heavy losses of Wagner mercenaries in the Bakhmut area are known.
