Ukrainian forces pushing back enemy in two directions in Kharkiv region

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are pushing back Russian invaders in the Derhachi and Rohan directions in the Kharkiv region

Oleh Syniehubov, the head of the Kharkiv regional military administration, reported this on Telegram.

"The Ukrainian Armed Forces are gradually driving the enemy out, particularly in the Derhachi and Rohan directions. This morning, at about 11 o'clock, our air defense forces shot down a Russian fighter jet outside Kharkiv. After that, air activity in the region decreased dramatically," Syniehubov wrote.

According to him, the town of Izium remains the most critical point, where the fighting continues. As soon as it is possible to evacuate people or deliver humanitarian aid, it will definitely be done, Syniehubov said.

Currently, the enemy continues to fire from artillery, mortars and MLRS in order to destabilize the situation and prevent a return to normal life.
