Ukrainian troops are retaking new positions in the north of Vovchansk.
The Ukrainian defense forces managed to recapture a part of Vovchansk in the Kharkiv region from the Russian occupiers, reports Bild .
The publication reminds that in mid-May, Russian troops occupied the northern part of Vovchansk and several central quarters. However, in recent days, the Ukrainian defenders managed to knock them out of the center. Russian soldiers report that part of the soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces in the city are surrounded and cut off.
“Ukrainian troops are regaining new positions in the north of Vovchansk. Russian troops continued to retreat and attack the lost areas with aircraft, missiles and artillery,” reports Bild analyst Julian Röpke.
It is noted that in order to transfer reinforcements from the southern to the northern bank of the Vovcha River, the ZSU used the German Biber tank bridge-builder.
The Russian Armed Forces attacked it with a Lancet drone, but there are no signs that the crossing is now faulty, Röpke notes.
The situation in the Kharkiv region – what is known
As the officer of the planning section of the “Rubizh” brigade, Major of the National Guard Dmytro Kozhubenko, told, in the Kharkiv region the enemy was pushed back from some positions , while the situation was stabilized in others. At the same time, the enemy is actively digging in and raising reserves to compensate for losses.
Kozhubenko noted that “a very significant plus” is giving the Ukrainian forces in the Kharkiv region permission to use Western weapons on military facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation.
