Russia faces loss of another city

Luhansk province fate 'worrisome,'
Kremlin-backed official declares


A Russian-backed official concedes that "main medical and social institutions are being evacuated" from Svatove, a city in the contested Luhansk region of eastern Ukraine, the Kremlin's news agency, Tass, reports.

The "main medical and social institutions are being evacuated," said Rodion Miroshnik, an official of the Luhansk region's Russian puppet government. He said city authorities are now working in a "reduced state."

Miroshnik termed the situation in northern and northwestern parts of the Luhansk province, where Svatovo is located, as "worrisome, but stable."

Ukrainians armed with night-fighting technology make the situation in Svatove dangerous, another puppet government official said Thursday. Speaking on Russian television, Vitaly Kisilyov said that pro-Russian forces are bracing for night attacks by Ukrainian fighters.

"All offensive moves [toward Svatovo] will most likely be carried out at night, because America provides a lot of money and all sorts of equipment," such as "night vision scopes, thermal scopes and so on, which they will use to infiltrate our territories in small groups and thus approach ever closer to the contact line."
