Ukraine’s defense forces have regained control over the settlements in the Kharkiv region.

This regards Oleksandrivka, Fedorivka, Ukrainka, Shestakovo, Peremoha, and part of Cherkaski Tyshky villages.

This was announced in the evening report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces.

At the same time, it is reported that the enemy is increasing the number of troops in the Slobozhanskyi direction.

Units of the Eastern Military District garrison are being relocated from the village of Urazovo in the Belgorod region of Russia to the territory of Ukraine.

Russian troops are blocking several remote villages and towns in the Kharkiv region and are conducting frequent attacks on areas where Ukrainian troops are concentrated.

In addition, the enemy had also launched an offensive attack on the village of Nova Dmytrivka but was unsuccessful.

According to the Pentagon, the majority of Russian forces have moved away to the north from Mariupol. This was announced at a briefing by John Kirby, spokesman of the U.S. Department of Defense. According to a Pentagon spokesman, a “small number” of Russian troops is now stationed in and around the city, roughly the equivalent of “a couple of battalion tactical groups.”
