Ukrainian troops continued to target Russian positions amid significant challenges on the front lines. Russian officials claimed complete control over Luhansk, marking a milestone in their advance. However, conflicting reports indicated that some villages remained free. While Russian forces are inching toward controlling all of Luhansk, significant portions of the Donetsk region remain in Ukrainian control. Concurrently, the U.S. decided not to send promised weapons to Ukraine, citing a prioritization of its own interests, indicating a shift in military support.
The Russian occupation governor of Ukraine's eastern Luhansk region claimed it had been entirely conquered on Tuesday, making it the first of the eastern Ukrainian regions Russia has annexed that it fully controls.
Undoubtedly, though, Russian forces have inched towards reconquering the entire territory in the intervening 33 months, constituting a second milestone within the past month on Ukraine's eastern front.
On the same day as Pasechnik's announcement, the United States said it would not be sending Kyiv some weapons that had been promised, prioritizing America's interests.
Russian troops reached the border of the Dnipropetrovsk region over the weekend of June 7-8, marking the first time they had conquered the entire breadth of the Donetsk region.
