Russia launched its newest border incursion with the goal of capturing two specific settlements, a Russian-installed official said, quoted by RIA state news agency.
The village of Lyptsi, located 19 miles north of Kharkiv city, where Volodymyr Zelenskyy is currently visiting, and the town of Vovchansk, 30 miles further east, where combat has reportedly been fiercest.
"The most important city, which is now on the verge of complete liberation, is undoubtedly Vovchansk," said Vitaly Ganchev, a Russian-installed official in Ukraine.
"Next is the settlement of Lyptsi - our guys are already on the outskirts. Work is beginning to liberate it, aviation and artillery are working constantly, they do not stop," he said.
The russ is wrong ......Lyptsi is the important one IMO and Ukraine must try and hold that because , if captured , it's very close to bringing Kharkiv under russ fire control
and Vovchank not as far as I'm aware close to capture at all .....as far as I know the russ haven't crossed the river and late yesterday were being pushed back to the norht west of the town
