Russian forces suffer more losses of combat capability in Ukraine. 🇺🇦👏💙💛🙏🇺🇦
#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost . . . Some of the Russian forces are withdrawing from the area near Vovchansk in Kharkiv Oblast for replenishment due to a loss of combat capability, the spokesperson for the Khortytsia group of forces, Nazar Voloshyn, said on June 22 on national television.
Russia launched a new offensive on May 10 in northern Kharkiv Oblast, and Vovchansk became the scene of some of the heaviest fighting.
Moscow’s forces had advanced as far as 10 kilometers (6 miles) in the region but had been halted by the first line of defense.
Russia was “bogged down” in the embattled town of Vovchansk but was constantly replenishing its forces with units from other directions, Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi said on June 12.
The withdrawal of Russian units was also seen near the villages of Lyptsi and Tykhe, where the Russian armed forces suffered losses, Voloshyn said.
Voloshin said that the Russian army had lost 60 of its troops, including both killed or wounded, in that direction of the front line.
“This indicates that the enemy has suspended its active hostilities in that area, as they were not conducted over the past day and in the morning,” Voloshyn said.
