The adviser to the chairman of Mariupol, Petro Andryushchenko, reported that the Russian occupiers in the captured city are using tarpaulins to “repair” destroyed high-rise buildings.

“Without further words. Shevchenko Boulevard, 262. Completed roof repair. Not even a banner. Just a canvas sheet. If you don’t see a problem, there is no problem,” Andryushchenko said.

In the morning, Russian troops shelled Kurakhov, Donetsk region, with artillery – they aimed at a residential quarter. This was announced by the head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, Pavlo Kyrylenko.

Consequences of a nighttime rocket attack on Kramatorsk, Donetsk region – 34 private houses and 8 apartment buildings were damaged. The mayor of Kramatorsk, Oleksandr Honcharenko, announced this.

He said that a civilian resident of the city was wounded by Russian shells at night.

Two women were killed in the city of Bakhmut, Donetsk region, during shelling by the Russian army.

This was reported by the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Donetsk region.

“Today at around 12:00 p.m., Russian troops fired artillery at the city. One of the projectiles hit the road. Shrapnel fatally injured two elderly women. Currently, the “White Angel” police evacuation team is taking the bodies to the morgue. The identities of the dead will be determined in the future,” said the police.

During the night, the Russian occupation army shelled the Donetsk region along the entire front line. A historical building was damaged in Bakhmut, and a residential building was hit in Kurakhovo.

Russian occupiers also took about 30 people from the suburb of Bakhmut in Donetsk region to Rostov. It is noted that the residents of the city were taken to filtration camps under the guise of “evacuation”.

Russian shelling of Donetsk region continues unabated – on January 2, 10 settlements in the Donetsk region were hit. A civilian and a policeman were killed.

Also in the Bakhmut direction, the occupiers tried to storm one of the advanced positions of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, but as a result of the counteroffensive of Ukrainian border guards and military personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, they lost their own.

The occupiers are “tearing off the roof”, they are beginning to behave inappropriately in the temporarily seized territory of Luhansk region, Gaidai noted.

The Russian occupiers, after receiving information about the detonation of warehouses with ammunition, barracks with military personnel, as well as after the death of personnel, began to behave inappropriately in the temporarily occupied territory of the Luhansk region.

On January 3, the head of the regional military administration, Serhii Gaidai, announced this on the air of the national telethon.

“Their roof is being torn off. They are starting to take rather harsh actions. We have information that the military are simply already shooting at civilians when drunk. They can simply shoot a male civilian because they think he is an accomplice of the Ukrainian military,” – said the head of the regional military administration.

According to Gaidai, the occupiers also take men who refuse to fight against the Armed Forces to Luhansk and put them in prison there.

“There is information that 10-15 civilians from one or another village are taken and taken away, thereby scaring the locals so that they will not help the Armed Forces… This all indicates that they are already at the peak of a nervous breakdown,” – Gaidai emphasized.

The Russian invaders, after a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, captured almost the entire Luhansk region. The last large city of the Lysychansk region was abandoned by the armed forces on July 3.

On October 28, Gaidai reported that the Armed Forces were advancing one to three kilometers in the region every day. As of December 4, 13 settlements were deoccupied in Luhansk region, he noted.

On December 24, Gaidai reported that the Armed Forces were getting closer to Svatovo, the occupiers had taken their “administration” out of there.

At the beginning of January, an ammunition depot of the Russian occupiers exploded in Svatovo, they had been transporting weapons there for almost two weeks, the strategic communications (stratcom) department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine informed.
