According to Ukrinform, the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, Oleksii Kharchenko, announced the situation on Telegram.

"The longer a city or village remains under Russian occupation, the more problems arise there," Kharchenko said. "This is especially noticeable in settlements occupied back in 2014. For the past 12 years, utility services have done almost nothing. Such neglect has led to regular infrastructure failures. Once again, residents of Alchevsk and Perevalsk have been left without water."

He added that in the former mining cities of Brianka and Kadiivka, the occupation authorities have reduced water supplies by 80%. Drinking water is not being delivered, and residents have not been informed when normal water service will resume.

Meanwhile, the occupation authorities have once again revived plans to build six landfill sites—projects first announced four years ago. However, construction has never begun on any of them, and several were eventually frozen.

Authorities have now decided to sign a contract to prepare project documentation for a waste processing complex in Antratsyt.

"The design documentation is expected to be completed in one and a half years—that is, by the end of 2027. Then they'll probably come up with another excuse," Kharchenko remarked.

Earlier, Ukrinform reported that occupation authorities in Sievierodonetsk are preparing additional apartments for so-called "nationalization."
