Luhansk Oblast Military Administration head Serhii Haidai stated that the entire Luhansk region is not completely occupied by Russian troops.

The Luhansk region has not been captured completely: two settlements are still holding the line.

The Russians are preparing for a pseudo-referendum on the 'accession' of Luhansk Oblast within its administrative borders to the Russian Federation.

Due to the fear of a counteroffensive, Russians are trying to hold elections quickly without a choice.

As of July 20, 2022, Russian forces have not fully captured the Luhansk region.

Russian forces are preparing a fake referendum to annex occupied territories and justify general mobilization.

Two settlements in Luhansk Oblast are currently defending against Russian advances.

Ukrainian Minister Oleksiy Reznikov stated that about 11,000 Russian occupants were killed in the battles for Severodonetsk and Lysychansk.

Reznikov estimated that approximately 2,000 LNR soldiers and 8-9,000 Russian Armed Forces servicemen were destroyed.

More than 20,000 enemy soldiers were wounded, with about 6,500 severely injured requiring amputation.
