'Luhansk is the next Bucha'. Luhansk Governor Serhiy Haidai tells Sky News he fears a fresh offensive in the coming days and says the situation in the region will be the same or 'even worse' than in places such as Mariupol and Bucha.

Russian troops now control 70% of Luhansk, said Mr Haidai, and are already using tanks, artillery, bombs and missiles on areas still held by Ukraine."We observe the concentration of troops. I think that they will go on an offensive in approximately a few days," he said.

"We have many such examples when they shell schools, kindergartens. We don't have a single hospital left that has not been shelled," he said. "We need three things: modern antitank weapons, modern anti-aircraft weapons, and modern long-range artillery systems.
