“The Brave grouping of the Central Military District has closed another ring in the settlement of Belogorovka, hoisted the banner of Victory over the administration,” one of the Russian servicemen said in a video published on the Telegram channel of the Russian Defense Ministry.
On July 3, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the liberation of the Luhansk People's Republic.
Army General Shoigu noted that as a result of successful hostilities, full control was established over Lisichansk and a number of nearby settlements.
The largest of them are Belogorovka, Novodruzhesk, Maloryazantsevo and Belaya Gora.
The Ukrainian grouping of troops is blocked in the Lysychansk cauldron; at present, the defeat of the surrounded enemy is being completed in the city.
