The Armed Forces of Ukraine have refuted reports circulating in enemy media claiming that Russian invaders have captured the village of Novovasylivka in the Kharkiv region.
According to Ukrinform, the press service of the 16th Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this on Telegram regarding the situation around Novovasylivka in the Velykoburlutsk direction.
“Yesterday, enemy media began massively spreading reports about the alleged capture of the village of Novovasylivka. At the same time, one of the leading Z-channels, ‘Rybar’ admitted that ‘there is no objective video evidence yet,’” the statement reads.
As noted by the military, several days ago, Russian forces from the 344th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 69th Motorized Rifle Division, reinforced by assault groups from the 83rd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 69th Motorized Rifle Division, did indeed attempt to enter Novovasylivka. The enemy’s intention was promptly exposed. A combined strike was delivered against the assault groups.
Enemy losses have been confirmed: four Russian servicemen were killed, and another surrendered. Some of the personnel, having lost their bearings, scattered into the forest. The search for them continues.
