Information about the alleged advance of the Russian army in Vovchansk and Synkivka in the Kharkiv region is not true. Ukrainian troops continue to hold their positions, according to the Joint Forces Task Force.
In the South Slobozhanske direction, the enemy attacked positions toward Starytsia, Vovchanski Khutory, Zybyne, and Okhrymivka, but the Russian assault groups were destroyed.
In Vovchansk, the enemy continues to attempt to break through the defense. But Ukrainian troops are holding their positions.
The military emphasized that statements about advances in Vovchansk and Synkivka are unreliable.
In the Velykyi Burluk direction, the situation is without significant changes. The Russian troops are accumulating forces to renew the offensive.
In the Kupiansk direction, the Russians unsuccessfully attempted to break through the defense toward Borivska Andriivka, Kupiansk, Novoplatonivka, and Kivsharivka.
In the Lyman direction, assaults were repelled in the areas of Serednie, Stavky, Shyikivka, and Dibrova.
Overall, according to the military, 13 Russian attacks were neutralized. Units of the Defense Forces continue to destroy the Russian forces to slow their advance.
