“News from the front line of Luhansk region: the village of Makiyivka, located in Krasnorichenska of Svativ district, is moving into the “blue zone,” the military administration of Luhansk region reported.

The Ukrainian army has regained control over the settlement.”

On November 5, the Verstka publication reported that a battalion of mobilized Russians was destroyed near the village of Makiivka, Svativ district, Luhansk region, as a result of shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Then hundreds of Russian soldiers would die.

The head of the military administration in the Luhansk region, Serhii Gaidai, spoke on Ukrainian television this week that the armed forces were advancing and predicted that the Russians would suffer heavy casualties as fighting continued in the Svatovoy and Kreminnaya areas.
