26 Jun 2024:

Today, there is a lot of news from the Kharkiv direction.

In the northern area of Vovchansk, Russian forces have launched massive shelling on the "Citadel," aiming to reduce it to rubble and deprive the Ukrainians of this key stronghold. This intense bombardment threatens to compromise Ukrainian advances in this sector or even force a retreat from certain positions. Consequently, Ukrainian efforts have increasingly focused on the eastern part of Vovchansk, where they continue to make significant progress.

Efforts are ongoing to link the Ukrainian advance from the east of the city with the Tikhe area, aiming to dislodge Russian forces from the hills. Footage from various Russian sources has shown intense aerial bombardments on Tikhe, confirming that the village and its surroundings are under Ukrainian control.

The small town of Tikhe has emerged as a critical point for the Ukrainian command, particularly the road connecting it to Vovchansk. This road could be decisive in capturing the city due to the destruction of many bridges along the Vovcha River, which complicates the movement of armored vehicles to the northern part of the river. If Ukrainian forces can secure this road, they will be able to transport armored vehicles more easily to the city, potentially leading to the collapse of Russian defenses in the area.

Aware of this strategic importance, Russian forces continue efforts..
