Ukrainian forces stopped a Russian offensive on the Kharkiv axis early on Friday, May 10.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this at a press conference with Slovak President Zuzana Caputova.
“As of 07:00-08:00 this morning, a fierce artillery battle occurred. At the time, the Russian offensive was stopped,” Zelensky said.
He added that the Ukrainian military was ready for such actions by the enemy.
Earlier reports said that Russian invaders had intensified shelling in the northern part of the Kharkiv region, primarily hitting the town of Vovchansk.
According to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, today the enemy carried out airstrikes using guided aerial bombs in the direction of Vovchansk, and with the beginning of the night, the Russian occupiers increased the fire pressure on the front edge of Ukrainian defenses with the support of artillery.
At about 05:00, the enemy attempted to break through Ukrainian defenses under the cover of armored vehicles. As of now, these attacks have been repelled, with battles still ongoing. Reserve units have been sent to strengthen the defense in this sector of the front.
乌克兰总统泽连斯基在与斯洛伐克总统卡普托娃举行的新闻发布会上表示，5 月 10 日星期五早些时候，乌克兰军队阻止了俄罗斯对哈尔科夫轴线的攻势。
泽伦斯基说，“今天早上07:00-08:00，爆发一场激烈炮战。 俄罗斯的攻势被阻止。”他补充说，乌克兰军方已做好应对敌人此类行动的准备。
此前有报道称，俄罗斯入侵者在哈尔科夫地区北部加强了炮击，主要袭击沃夫昌斯克镇。
乌克兰国防部称，今天敌军使用制导航空炸弹向沃夫昌斯克方向进行空袭，入夜后，俄罗斯占领者在炮兵支援下加大了对乌克兰防御前沿的火力压力。
凌晨 5 点左右，敌军在装甲车掩护下试图突破乌克兰防线。截至目前，这些攻击已被击退，战斗仍在继续。预备队已被派往加强该战线防御。
