According to the report, Russian troops are continuing their offensive in the north of the Kharkiv region, capturing new territories and engaging in combat operations in various directions, in particular near Volchansk.
“The offensive of Russian troops in the Kharkiv region is going according to schedule. The situation is difficult, but controlled,” the GUR said.
Addressing Russian soldiers, the GUR calls on them to surrender to the Ukrainian military, emphasizing that this is the only way out in a conflict situation that has too many human losses.
“We can say that the enemy's actions in this direction began according to a schedule that was known, about which the Main Intelligence Directorate, as it should, informed all the necessary authorities, leadership and command,” said intelligence spokesman Andriy Yusov.
According to Yusov, in the Kharkiv direction, Russian troops deployed fighters from the Moscow and Leningrad military districts.
He called on Russians to surrender and added that "a decision has been made to quickly open an additional camp for Russian prisoners of war in Ukraine.".
