“They are packing their loot, packing their families, and leaving. Even, by the way, from the cities that have been occupied since 2014. We hope that in the near future we will see the Armed Forces of Ukraine cross the river and a large-scale de-occupation of Luhansk Oblast will begin.”

According to Hayday, a blue and yellow flag is already flying over the town of Kreminna, after it was installed there by Ukrainian guerrillas.

"The occupiers fled, and the collaborators either fled or are afraid to take it down because they understand that the offensive is unstoppable,” the official said.

“And, perhaps, it will not be a day or two, but within a week 100% of our military will come in, de-occupation will take place.”
