You are talking about the cliam that they held a northern suburb, that they placed a flag on. That turned out to be about ten guys in a Rec Unit, and they left as fast as they came in. A week ago.

The line is now to the north, along the river. Stanytsia-Luhanska is 25Km northeast of Lugansk, and the north line is near Schayste.

“Line” is a loose term is this conflict, it more like concentration points. Neither side has the strength for a “Line”, and they tend to flow back and forth.

Shelling Kills Hundreds in Besieged Luhansk in East Ukraine - LUHANSK, August 23 (RIA Novosti) – Hundreds have died in artillery attacks on eastern Ukraine’s key city of Luhansk as government troops continue to lay siege to the militia stronghold, according to a senior official of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic. “As of today, the death toll has climbed into the hundreds. Hundreds of homes have been torn down, including more than a dozen of apartment blocks and hundreds of private houses,” LPR Deputy Prime Minister Vasily Nikitin told RIA Novosti Saturday. Luhansk has been left without running water, electricity and phone communications for 20 days as government troops continue to besiege it, pounding indiscriminately militia positions and residential quarters in and around the city. All deliveries of food, medication and fuel had long been stopped due to heavy shelling.

While you cheer for the Russians, civilians are dying in Ukraine. The Russian invasion must be stopped and the Russian terrorists deposed of. The Ukrainian people including those in east hate these Russian terrorist bastards.
