Military: Russian forces near Vovchansk attempt assaults in small groups

According to a Ukrinform correspondent, this was reported on television by Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for the Joint Forces Operation.

“There, the Russians are actively trying to advance from Vovchansk to the south and east, including toward Lyptsi and Vovchansk Khutory, but these attempts are ongoing,” the spokesperson said.

According to Trehubov, the enemy is attempting to expand its zone of influence around Vovchansk and advance toward neighboring settlements.

“They invariably end the same way. They try to advance in small groups, and those small groups are destroyed,” the spokesperson noted.

As reported by Ukrinform, on the front line over the past day, April 12, in the Southern Slobozhanskyi direction, the enemy attempted 11 times to break through defensive lines in the areas of Synelnykove, Starytsia, Izbytske, Vovchansk, Lyman, and Tsehelne.
