This was reported by Yevhenii Romanov, spokesperson for the Kharkiv Operational Tactical Unit, via "Kyiv24."

According to the spokesperson, the Russian army continuously attempt to apply pressure in the Vovchansk direction, but they struggle to advance and maintain logistics.  

Additionally, there is evidence of Russian troops using North Korean shells, though their quality is so poor that they may even harm Russian troops themselves. "They are using standard 152-mm North Korean shells, but their quality is extremely low."

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to hold their positions despite constant shelling.

  • North Korean soldiers fighting alongside Russia in Ukraine are reportedly being ordered to commit suicide if captured, raising new challenges for Ukraine.
