He said this on the Espreso TV channel.

“The situation across the enclave, which the enemy managed to capture, remains tense. Combat clashes continue in Vovchansk. The fighting is taking place in the city's urban area, or what's left of it. The situation may change depending on the resources used by the enemy and the Defense Forces of Ukraine. There were 11 combat engagements over the last day. The enemy launched 17 air strikes and one missile strikes against our positions, as well as 28 'kamikaze' drone strikes. Russians made 238 fire attacks," noted Povkh.

According to the spokesman, the Russian troops are using small group tactics under the cover of artillery.

“The enemy is using equipment to a limited extent, as the high-quality work of our artillery causes heavy losses. On average, the Russians lose several tanks and armored combat vehicles and dozens of vehicles every day,” emphasized Povkh.

  • Russia is forcibly sending men who refused to fight to the war in Ukraine instead of trying them for refusing to participate in hostilities.
