The battle for the Luhansk front has exploded into one of the deadliest weeks of the war. Nearly 4,000 Ukrainian troops were lost as fierce clashes erupted in Kupyansk and Svatovo. Russian forces claim to have destroyed tanks, artillery, radar systems, and dozens of supply depots, crippling enemy logistics. Villages near the front were pounded, with civilians describing nights filled with fire, smoke, and fear. The situation remains tense, with counterattacks raging and the possibility of an even deadlier escalation looming.
