Large-scale water supply disruptions have occurred in the temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk Oblast
In the temporarily occupied territory of Luhansk Oblast, more than 20 settlements have been left without a stable water supply due to an accident at a pumping station. In some towns, the water supply has been completely cut off, while in others, it has been significantly restricted.
According to him, Perevalsk, Zorynsk, and Slavyanoserbsk are without water. Meanwhile, in Alchevsk, Bryanka, Kadiivka, and Irmino, water supply has been reduced by 50–60%.
Water disruptions have also been reported in occupied Luhansk, where restrictions have affected several large districts of the city.
According to the occupation administration, they plan to restore water supply after repairs to the equipment at the pumping station are completed.
In addition, Oleksiy Kharchenko emphasized that the utilities crisis in occupied Luhansk Oblast is worsening due to the critical situation with household waste collection and unsanitary conditions.
“Despite numerous appeals from local residents, the occupying authorities have failed to address the problem for months, and illegal dumps are cleaned up only occasionally and mostly for show,” noted the head of the Luhansk Regional State Administration.
An accident at a pumping station, widespread water supply disruptions, and the deteriorating public utilities situation indicate a further worsening of humanitarian problems in the temporarily occupied territory of Luhansk Oblast.
This was reported by Oleksiy Kharchenko, head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration.
Earlier, in the temporarily occupied part of the Kherson region, the Russian occupation authorities declared a man-made state of emergency due to widespread power outages. A total of 207 settlements remain without electricity, and power outages have also been reported in 18 districts and cities of the temporarily occupied Crimea.
Prior to this, the following areas in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea were without power: Armiansk, Krasnoperekopsk, Dzhankoy and its district, Yevpatoria, as well as the Black Sea and Saki districts. The occupying authorities claim they plan to restore power within the next 24 hours.
Earlier, the Russian presidential administration sent special “recommendations” to state-run and pro-government media outlets regarding how exactly to report on the fuel shortage in the country.
Meanwhile, the fuel crisis is intensifying in Russia: gasoline is running out at gas stations and lines are growing longer.
Russia has allowed the use of lower-quality gasoline due to the fuel crisis.
