The armed forces of Ukraine advanced in the north-east of the Kharkiv region and almost approached the border with Russia. About it said Advisor to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Vadim Denisenko on the air of a single telethon.

“In the north-east of the Kharkiv region, Ukrainian troops have really launched a counteroffensive, we are already close to the border. We hope that if everything goes well, we will try to reach the Ukrainian border in the coming days,” he informed.

Undermining the RF Armed Forces of three bridges crossing the Seversky Donets River near the villages of Rubezhnoye and Stary Saltov is likely to slow down the advance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the region. The invaders, according to Denisenko, are concentrating on the Izyum direction and want to break through to Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.

“So far this has been unsuccessful, but they still have a large number of manpower and equipment in this direction,” the adviser specified.
