The Spokesman further stated that over the previous 24 hours, Lugansk People's Republic forces carried out successful offensive operations and took control of the communities of Novookhtyrka, Smolyaninovo, and Stanychno-Luhanskoye, with fire assistance from the Russian military.

Since the beginning of the military campaign in Ukraine, the Russian armed forces have advanced 52 kilometers (32 miles) into defense, according to Konashenkov.
