The war in Ukraine – the situation at the front

In the Kharkiv direction, Ukrainian defenders have stopped the advance of the enemy on the northern outskirts of the settlement of Liptsi and are fighting with the “motley population of Russians”, who, despite being destroyed, continue to fight without stopping . The commander of the 5th battalion of the operational assignment of the “Spartan” brigade Mykhailo Hologurskyi told what is happening in the Kharkiv direction in the Liptsi district. 

“Our brigade is currently performing tasks in the Kharkiv direction, namely, the settlement of Liptsi, on its northern outskirts. The enemy has been stopped, the situation is currently stabilized. That is, there are no enemy advances at the moment. The enemy is constantly conducting counterattacks, but all his attacks the last week or two were repulsed and its progress was not recorded anywhere. This is specifically in our direction,” emphasized Hologursky.
