In the Kharkiv region, russian occupiers are launching attacks in small groups, aiming to test the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This was emphasized by Oleh Synehubov, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration.
«Our soldiers are successfully holding off the enemy in these areas. We have recently repelled about 15 enemy attacks. The situation is challenging, but our soldiers are effectively repelling all enemy assaults. We’ve observed an increase in activity within the grey zone and along the front line. The enemy is deliberately attempting to stretch our defenses by launching attacks in small groups in new directions», — Synehubov stated.
In related news, Yevhen Kaplin, the head of the Proliska humanitarian mission, reported on Hromadske Radio that approximately 5,700 people had been evacuated from frontline areas in the Kharkiv region within three days.
