Russians intensify aviation near Vovchansk - AFU
This was stated on television by the spokesman for the Kharkiv operational and tactical group Yevhen Romanov, Ukrinform reports.
“Vovchansk has ceased to exist. There are solid ruins left by the enemies of the Ukrainian city, but this land is defended by Ukrainian soldiers, who do not allow the enemy to advance. It's winter weather, the river is frozen, and this adds to the difficulties of our defenders. The enemy has activated aviation,” said Romanov.
According to the spokesman, over the past day in the Kharkiv region, Russian invaders conducted six air strikes using 15 guided aerial bombs and 63 strikes by kamikaze drones. Also, 399 enemy attacks were recorded.
“Nevertheless, the enemy is suffering losses. Enemy losses amounted to 82 occupants over the last day, including 26 killed and 56 wounded and potentially killed. Enemy losses in equipment amounted to 55 units: 14 vehicles, 3 units of special equipment, 38 drones, more than fifty enemy shelters were destroyed,” Romanov added.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, 121 combat engagements between Ukrainian Defense Forces units and Russian invaders were recorded at the frontline over the past day, February 20, and Ukrainian troops repelled 34 enemy attacks in the Pokrovsk sector.
