Russia claims to have fully occupied Ukraine's Luhansk region, a territory illegally annexed in 2022, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. The claim, made by a Russia-appointed official, would make Luhansk the first region fully under Russian control after over three years of war, despite international peace efforts. Germany is also increasing its support by helping Ukraine manufacture more weapons. This development follows intensified Russian attacks and comes amid stalled peace talks, with Germany aiming to bolster Ukraine's negotiating position through increased arms production.
