In the Kramatorsk direction, the occupiers shelled the Siversk, Hryhorivka, Bilogorivka, Zolotarivka, Serebryanka, Verkhnokamyansky, Zvanivka, and Rozdolivka districts with barrel and jet artillery. The enemy led an offensive in the direction of Verkhnokamyansky, with partial success.

Ukrainian aviation and missile and artillery units continue to inflict fire damage on concentrations of manpower, military equipment and ammunition depots of the russian occupiers.

Slovyansk is again under Russian fire. It is known about 1 injured person. For more than a week, the russians have been hitting Slovyansk every day, and each time — on residential areas and civilian infrastructure.

Avdiivka is under round-the-clock shelling. Since yesterday evening, the russians have shelled the city more than 10 times. As usual, they hit the civilian infrastructure: the hospital, residential quarters, the bus depot, as well as the Avdiiv Coke Chemical Plant.

However, at 7:30 p.m., a powerful explosion was heard, which occurred as a result of a rocket hitting a field near a village in a neighboring community.

The occupiers are advancing in the direction of Veselaya Dolyna and in the area of ​​the Spirne settlement, hostilities continue. The coordinator of the AUI “Active Community” was preparing for the art therapy events planned for July.

Mariupol

The occupiers are strengthening the regime. Roadblocks have been set up again along the central streets.

Mariupol Seaport has resumed operations. The port is ready for full-scale looting and the meeting of russian military cargo. According to the agreement of the occupiers with the Assad regime, all looted goods will be sent and legalized through Syria.

Resistance is growing. Another riot of local residents took place in Mariupol. In the “Volonterivka” micro-district of the Kalmius Raion, people gathered at the school demanding an urgent solution to the problem with drinking water, electricity and transportation. About 3,000 people and at least 200 children remain separated from the minimum basic conditions of existence. The protest meeting took place after the death in the middle of the street of two pensioners who were trying to overcome the kilometers from Volunteerivka to the center of the district in the heat. People are left to their own devices. Most of the men from this neighborhood are still in the filtering colony in Sedovo, which makes it impossible to solve problems with their own hands.

The occupying “authority” finally admitted that the restoration of water supply to the Left Bank district of Mariupol is impossible due to the destruction of the water supply by russian bombs. The same applies to a large part of the Central and Prymorskiy Raions. Most of the communications simply cannot be restored, and the construction of new ones takes years.

Due to the lack of food and the complete unavailability of vegetables and fruits, people switched to natural farming. Now people create gardens in the yards of apartment buildings. Near the graves. Despite everything, the people of Mariupol continue to survive among the ruins.

Luhansk Oblast

Currently, not all of the Oblast is under the control of the russians. Fighting is still going on in two settlements of Luhansk Oblast. Shelling by the russians does not stop.

It is difficult to leave the temporarily occupied territories. This is possible only through the territory of the russia to other countries.

The infrastructure in the cities and villages where the fighting took place was completely destroyed.

Severodonetsk is on the brink of a humanitarian disaster. 80 percent of housing was destroyed or damaged. Occupants are looting property in barely surviving apartments. Having entered the city, the russians first deported part of the local population, took away the keys, and then began looting. They drive up to high-rise buildings on trucks. If the furniture is good, they take it away.

The occupiers have appointed another “commandant”, already the third, but the property of the residents of Severodon continues to disappear.

Yes, one of the local transport companies came with an inspection from the “commandant’s office” the other day. And in the morning, four buses disappeared from there.

Since the end of February, the occupiers have been shelling critical infrastructure facilities, destroying them almost completely. They will not be able to repair anything. Because even in peacetime, such a volume of restoration can be done in six months to a year if materials and qualified workers are available.

Big problem with sewage. Treatment plants are not working, as well as pumping stations. Sewage accumulates. Add to that the air temperature that is currently in the yard. And the stench from the dead – those who were buried in yards, and many remain in apartments and entrances, such as in one of the high-rise buildings in the new districts. A humanitarian disaster awaits Severodonetsk.
