The Ukrainian military is ready to defend Kharkiv, the Russian invaders will not be able to approach the city, and in some directions they are forced to retreat, said the head of the Kharkiv OVA Oleg Sinegubov.

“We are ready to deploy any scenarios as early as February 24. Armed Forces of Ukraine hold positions. We perfectly understand the maneuvers and regroupings of the enemy. Therefore, we are ready for the defense and defense of Kharkov,"

The most active hostilities are now taking place near the city of Izyum. Here the invaders are trying to concentrate a large amount of equipment in order to move towards the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. The Ukrainian military inflicts heavy losses on them in terms of manpower and equipment - the occupiers lose a lot of aircraft and armored vehicles.

On the Dergachev and Rogan directions, the defenders of Ukraine pushed the enemy away from the borders of Kharkov. But the operational situation in the region is changing rapidly, so the Ukrainian military does not lose vigilance and is ready for any maneuvers of the invaders..

“While the Ukrainian army is holding the line, we continue to provide residents of the city and the region with humanitarian aid, where there is a threat of shelling – we are evacuating the population: today these are Barvinkovo \u200b\u200band Lozova,” summed up Sinegubov.
