There's been an escalation in fighting in the Kharviv region over the weekend as Ukrainian soldiers look to isolate Russian troops advancing across the nearby border in Vovchansk,
Heavy combat is reportedly underway at an aggregate plant on the northern edge of Vovchansk.
DeepState – a Ukrainian monitoring group – says small groups of Russian soldiers have repeatedly attempted to secure the aggregate plant, but have been repelled by Ukraine forces.
One Ukrainian squad commander, Stanislav Buniatov, described the situation as "difficult but controlled" and said Russian troops are "surrounded".
