Russia tries to withdraw some units from near Vovchansk - Khortytsia troops grouping

Nazar Voloshyn, a spokesman for the Khortytsia troops grouping, reports.

It is noted that the Russian army didn't conduct any offensive actions in the Kharkiv sector over the past day and today. 

"The enemy is trying to withdraw its units in the areas of Vovchansk, Tykhyi, and Hlyboke due to partial loss of combat capability. The Ukrainian Defence Forces are holding the line there," said Voloshyn.

At the same time, the spokesman stressed that the Russians do not give up their attempts to attack - they use aviation, including guided missiles, to target towns and villages.

• Over the last day, 141 combat engagements took place at the front. The Pokrovsk sector remains the hottest spot on the frontline.
