A Russia-appointed official in Ukraine’s occupied Luhansk region said Monday that Moscow’s forces have overrun all of it — one of four regions Russia illegally annexed from Ukraine in September 2022 despite not fully controlling a single one.
If confirmed, that would make Luhansk the first Ukrainian region fully occupied by Russia after more than three years of war and as recent U.S.-led international peace efforts have failed to make progress on halting the fighting.
Vladimir Putin has effectively rejected a ceasefire and hasn’t budged from his demands, which include Moscow’s control over the four illegally annexed regions.

Fuck Putin and fuck Russia.
Who cares what lies they tell.
Russia is finished, it has just not stopped moving yet.
Isn’t that headline backwards? Isn’t it Moscow saying Russia has occupied the region?
We should ask the Kremlin.
Or maybe Putin.
Special congrats to putins brilliant leadership. What did that cost them?
Just 3 whole days plus 4 years and a million people.
Well, even though there’s been a million casualties, they’ve been making the best of it by putting all the wounded in one battalion and sending them to the front on crutches, thereby wasting double the Ukrainian ammo! It’s brilliant. Soon the Ukrainian death bots will hit their pre-programmed kill limit and shut down and Russia will be victorious.
Oops- used a 16 bit counter and it keeps rolling over before the limit
