Filorussi di Lugansk,'tutta la regione sotto controllo di Mosca'

epa09888262 A picture taken during a visit to Shchastia organized by the Russian military shows Russian servicemen guard on the entrance of the Luhansk Power Station in Luhansk region, in Shchastia, Luhansk region, Ukraine, 13 April 2022. Stopped by the Ukrainian side a few days before the start of the Russian special operation, the station provided electricity to more than a million people. The Ukrainian Armed Forces mined the object during the retreat, and some high-voltage power lines were damaged during the fighting. The station is a strategic and important energy facility of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic. After the start of operation of the station, it will be possible to start production at the metallurgical enterprises of the republic, which was stopped in 2014, when the station was cut off from the energy system of Lugansk. On 24 February Russian troops had entered Ukrainian territory in what the Russian president declared a 'special military operation', resulting in fighting and destruction in the country, a huge flow of refugees, and multiple sanctions against Russia.
