Ukrainian Armed Forces push Russian troops out of Kharkiv district with intense fighting, we should not talk about the Russians escaping - deputy head of Kharkiv Regional Military Administration Semenukha

He told about this on the air of the Espreso TV channel.

"I recommend getting rid of the sentiment that Russians are simply fleeing from the Kharkiv region. Yesterday I saw settlements near the city of Chuguyiv. There was nothing left of them. They were simply razed to the ground. It is very difficult to put into words. Therefore, there is no need to say that Russians are fleeing. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are fighting hard for every settlement," Semenukha said.

The deputy head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration emphasized the importance of maintaining informational silence.

"I also want to emphasize the importance of information silence. This is a very high price. The price of the lives of our soldiers. For example, there were cases when Russian planes flew to populated areas and did not know that our troops were already there. Our military then shot down two Russian Su- 25. You understand that informational silence only helps our soldiers. Therefore, do not rush to disclose information. Be patient and wait for official information from the General Staff," he added.
