"During August 11, the Russians attacked eight times from the air. From different sides, they tried to break through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in about 14 settlements, once again attacked Verkhniokamyanske, but again retreated to previously occupied positions," he wrote on the Telegram channel.
At night, the enemy launched a missile strike, fired seven times from barrel and rocket artillery, and twice joined tank units to the assault operations.
According to Haidai, the occupiers are confident in the results of their future pseudo-referendum for the annexation of the Ukrainian regions to Russia, despite the fact that they still cannot fully occupy Luhansk and Donetsk regions.
He noted that the occupied part of Luhansk region was visited by former President of Russia and current Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, who promised to repair schools destroyed by the Russians.

According to the head of the Regional Military Administration, no one is preparing a heating system, a steam shop in the occupied cities.
