Russian forces have captured Sinyelnykove in the Vovchansk area of Kharkiv and entered the village of Liman to the south. In addition, Russian forces are engaged in fierce fighting with Ukrainian forces in the suburbs of Vovchansk to the southwest, specifically in Zhygernoe, to clear Ukrainian positions.
Recently, Ukrainian Defense Minister Denys Shymkiv visited Vovchansk and ordered the defenders to hold the city. However, since the supply lines for the Ukrainian forces in Vovchansk were cut off and they were squeezed into the southeastern part of the city, the task assigned by Shymkiv was an impossible one for the remaining Ukrainian forces in Vovchansk.
