Umerov visited positions in Vovchansk direction and noted high readiness and motivation of soldiers

A man was injured in the village of Male Vesele, which is 10 kilometers from the Russian border, as the result of a guided bomb attack, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said.

Russian forces recently marginally advanced near Kupyansk.

In a certain degree, the Defense Forces are now taking tactical initiative in their favor and I believe in success and possibility of deoccupation of Kharkiv Oblast, but it needs time and support

The Defense Forces, with the support of the Ukrainian nation, having additional weapons supplied as part of assistance from partner countries, are conducting systematic work on the total destruction of the enemy on the battlefield

For every position that is deoccupied, the enemy conducts a counterbattle. The opponent tries to counterattack with the number of personnel he has in order to regain the position

The intensity of hostilities on the Kharkiv section is extremely high

The aggressor tried to attack Kharkiv direction three times today, with fighting continuing in the area of Vovchansk.
