One of the factors currently preventing the deoccupation of large areas of the Luhansk region is unfavorable weather conditions.

Military and political commentator Oleksandr Kovalenko expressed this opinion in an exclusive interview with TSN.ua.

According to him, Luhansk region today is the bridgehead where the conditions for a counteroffensive are most formed, but weather conditions prevent this - a rather warm winter.

"This is an important factor in this area, because the counteroffensive actions of the Armed Forces will take place in a swampy area.

Such actions involving mobile assault units can slow down, and we must act quickly, sometimes even defiantly.

As in the Kharkiv region, when 8.5 thousand square kilometers were freed in a week and a half," the expert noted. 

Kovalenko emphasized that it is quite possible to repeat the "Kharkiv" scenario in Luhansk Region.

"We can liberate the territories from Svatovo to Starobilsk.

But weather conditions have an effect.

Frosts are needed to significantly increase the effectiveness of our actions," he summarized. 

We will remind, due to the significant losses of the invaders, the repurposing of hospitals in the temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk region into military hospitals continues.
