“We do not have access to the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine, and international organizations can not also arrive there. However, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion on February 24 of last year, while we were directly on the territory of the Luhansk region, we saw with our own eyes the destruction that Russian soldiers did in Ukrainian cities and villages,” explained the Head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration.
In particular, Serhii Haidai named the architectural monuments destroyed by Russians in Severodonetsk and Lysychansk.
“I can say that the theater in Severodonetsk was destroyed, and the Belgian heritage in Lysychansk was also shot by Russian troops,” said the Head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration.
So, among other things, the building of the regional drama theater in Severodonetsk was bombed, reconstructed and restored in 2017.
