He shared the information on Espreso TV.

"The fighting near Lyptsi continues, with the situation developing in Ukraine's favor. There are no indications of any Russian breakthroughs. The defense forces are conducting successful counterattacks in the area. Almost everyone in Ukraine has likely seen footage of a Russian soldier being captured near Lyptsi. According to him, all the forest strips near Lyptsi are littered with the bodies of Russian occupiers," Revchuk said.

He emphasized that the territory of the Kharkiv region will be liberated from the occupying Russian army.

"I hope that we will be able to liberate the territory of the Kharkiv region captured by the enemy. However, we need to think not only about the border of the Kharkiv region, but also about how to create a safe zone for our citizens. This applies to Kharkiv as well as to small towns and villages in the Kharkiv region," he added.
