"On the Kharkiv front, the operations continue to be complex and dynamic," the Ukrainian military said in a statement released on Monday, adding that Russian troops had launched 20 assault operations in the region, 14 of which were still ongoing.
Over the past week, there have been more than 830 clashes on the Kharkiv front, according to the spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Dimitro Likhova, who said that the number of Russian airstrikes on Ukrainian positions and civilian infrastructure had reached 580.
"Currently, the enemy has achieved tactical successes," he admitted.
The spokesman also stressed that Russia, despite the "significant losses" it has suffered, has managed to mobilize five more battalions to try to take control of the city of Vovchansk.
The attack on Vovchansk, located about five kilometers from the border with Russia, aims to reconquer the territory that Ukraine managed to recover during the first year of the war and that it has managed to hold until now.
Russia also wants to make this border town a buffer zone to prevent Ukrainian incursions into Russian territory.
The Ukrainian Defense also announced today that it had launched an attack with 'drones' against a fuel depot located in the Russian border region of Belgorod, causing a fire in the infrastructure, and against an electricity substation in Lipetsk, in western Russia, advanced the national news agency Ukrinform.
In recent months, Ukraine has attacked more than a dozen refineries and fuel depots located in the territory of the Russian Federation, in an attempt to prevent the supply of fuel to Russian troops occupying its territory and to damage the Russian oil industry.
These 'drone' attacks on Russian oil infrastructure have caused unrest in the United States, whose leaders have called on Ukraine to renounce these actions for fear that they will provoke an escalation of the conflict by Russia and destabilize the international oil market.
