LIVE |Russia Takes Full Control of Ukraine's Luhansk: Kremlin | Putin Claim Full Ukraine Region N18G #russiaukrainewar #russia #vladimirputin Russia claims full control over the Luhansk region, a territory it illegally annexed in 2022. If verified, this would mark the first entire Ukrainian region completely occupied by Russian forces since the war began in February 2022. The announcement was made by Leonid Pasechnik, the Russian-installed head in Luhansk, though Kyiv has not officially confirmed the fall.
In parallel, Russian troops have also reportedly advanced into Dnipro’s periphery, capturing a village — again unconfirmed by Ukrainian or independent sources.
This announcement comes amid no signs of ceasefire, with Russian President Vladimir Putin rejecting all recent truce proposals. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, who visited Kyiv, called Putin’s peace talk claims a “mockery” and pledged more military and industrial support to Ukraine.
