On May 13, the AFU General Staff announced that the Defense Forces had pushed the Russians back from Vovchansk.
As of May 14, measures to comb urban buildings in Vovchansk continue. The situation is under control. The losses of the enemy in this direction for the current day amounted to four people and five units of weapons and military equipment.
The situation in the Kharkiv direction
The DIU chief, Lt. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov, admitted that the Kharkiv region is "on the edge".
Like most Ukrainian officials and military experts, the chief of Ukrainian military intelligence believes that Russian attacks in the northeast are aimed at diverting Ukrainian reserves from the hot spots of Donbas.
The situation is on the edge. Every hour this situation is getting closer to critical, Budanov said via video link from the bunker in the Kharkiv region.
According to him, the Ukrainian army is trying to transfer troops from other areas of the front line to strengthen its defences in the northeast, but it wasn't easy to find personnel.
