Invaders focusing assault on Rubizhne and Popasna in Luhansk region – governor

Serhiy Haidai, the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, said this in a Telegram post, Ukrinform reports.  

"Rubizhne and Popasna are under the greatest threat. Because they simply will not break through Zolote, because our line of defense is very strong there. They have been shelling it from morning till night for almost two months, and they still can't make a breakthrough there. But as to Popasna and Rubizhne, they have accumulated enough heavy military equipment and personnel there, and that is where the main direction will be,” Haidai.
