Nazar Voloshin, a spokesman for the Khortytsia military unit, said this on the air of the United News telethon, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“The Ukrainian Defence Forces control the city of Vovchansk. The enemy does not give up attempts to capture the city. They [the Russians] are looting the houses of local residents on the outskirts of the city. But our Defence Forces are doing everything possible to prevent the enemy from advancing further and taking any specific actions against the city and local residents,” he said.
According to him, the operational situation in the Kharkiv sector remains difficult and is changing dynamically.
Answering a question about the situation in the north of Kharkiv region, Voloshyn said that Ukrainian defenders have managed to stabilise the situation in general, including in Vovchansk.
According to him, counter-attacks are currently underway in other areas of the Kharkiv region’s border.
According to him, Chasiv Yar is also under the control of the Ukrainian Defence Forces and the units that defend it, and there are no Russians in the town.
“The enemy made several attempts to storm the town. Our Defence Forces, together with [other] units, successfully destroyed those columns. The enemy does not give up trying to capture Chasiv Yar because it is located on the dominant heights. I can only say that the situation is fully controlled by the Defence Forces,” he assured.
