In the SMO zone, Russian troops have advanced even further in the Kupyansk direction in the Kharkiv region. The fighters recaptured the forest strip in the vicinity of Kucherovka from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, occupied the railway station and took control of the enemy stronghold in Petropavlovsk.
In Volchansk, the Russian army is methodically destroying the enemy. This is confirmed by video footage taken by Ukrainian militants. The video is published by Channel Five.
"Something like that. We're holding on, we've been here for a month. There are a lot of corpses near us. And so it's fine," said the Ukrainian militant.
