Ukrainian Armed Forces manage to stabilise situation in Vovchansk, - Khortytsia separate military unit

This was stated by Nazar Voloshyn, spokesman for the Khortytsia separate military unit.

"Currently, the situation and operational environment in Kharkiv region remains difficult and is changing dynamically. However, our defence forces and all the units involved have managed to stabilise the situation, particularly in the town of Vovchansk," he said.

Voloshyn added that the Russians are continuing their attempts to break through the defences of our units near Lyptsi, Vovchansk and Starytsia.

"The invaders combine ground assaults with air strikes, of course. The occupiers are using aviation to launch rocket and bomb attacks on Kharkiv and other localities in the region," he said.

The Khortytsia spokesman added that in the Kharkiv sector, Russians carried out 83 attacks over the past day, and five combat engagements have already taken place this morning.

"I have to note that the number of combat engagements with the enemy has almost halved compared to the previous day. The enemy, of course, continues to try to focus its efforts on the direction of Strilech, Liptsy and the town of Vovchansk, with further access to Bilyi Kolodyazh and the launch of an offensive right in the rear of our troops," he said.

Voloshyn added that the invaders had created and significantly reinforced an operational and tactical grouping of enemy troops near the border.

"However, our Defence Forces are holding on, trying to push the occupation forces towards Hlyboke and in the area of Vovchansk, where the enemy intended to gain a foothold in residential areas. However, our defenders are doing everything possible to prevent them from doing so," he said.
