Heavy fighting is going on in Luhansk Oblast for almost every meter of land as the invaders had time to prepare defenses, the region’s governor, Serhiy Haidai, said on the Ukrainian television channel Freedom on Dec. 3.

He also said the Ukrainian Armed Forces "have made small continuing gains" in the directions of Kreminna and Svatovo.

"In general, slowly but surely (the invaders) are being pushed away. They are really fighting for every 100 meters there," the governor added.

He said there were no major breakthroughs in the region because every step forward here costs the Ukrainian army a lot of effort.
