Ukrainians now reporting they control Southeast Luhansk.
What do your Russkie sources say?
Rebels said they left hours ago...
Only a “sabotage” group remained, and they were eliminating that. Aas of three hours ago, several of the rebel tweeters were claiming that “Only Kiev’s shelling remains in Lugansk.
Kiev is also claiming that one of the local separatist leaders, Alexey Sokolov, was killed.
I do love how Kiev just ignores the video evidence already out there today of 20-40 civilians being killed by UK shelling as “shot by rebels”, though.
Heavy fighting is being reported tonite in Alchevsk, Amvrosievka, Seversk. Kiev is attacking on the line Lisichansk-Rubezhnoye-Severodonetsk to divert the rebels from the South Pocket.
This was followed by an attack on Sverdlovsk, Djakovo and Marinovka, Kiev tanks moved from Artemivsk to Lysychansk.
It looks like they are trying to move into Lysychansk, where there are reports that Kiev used a surface-to-surface missile, an SS-21 Scarab-B to destroy the refinery, fired from Kramatorsk. (Poroshenko did “Warn” last week that he would soon start using “Special weapons”.)
The likely target is the Rebel group run by Mosgivney (sp??)
There are also reports of shooting and explosions in Slavyansk and Radakov, behind the Kiev lines.

The South Pocket is getting smaller, which likely explains today’s heavy attacks. Time is running out, and Kiev troops are already fleeing across the Russian Border.
VIDEO:
Destruction in Lugansk today after shelling by both heavy artillery and MLRS. Now 44+ Civilians reported killed.
