The situation near Volchansk in Kharkiv region remains difficult due to the virtually destroyed city. Russians are also trying to expand their bridgehead near the Lyman, said Viktor Trehubov, head of the communications department of the Joint Forces Group. "The situation in on the Vovchansk axis is very tense. In my opinion, this is perhaps the most difficult for us right now. The Russians are trying to actively advance there, including near the city, in the area of the village of Synelnykove.
