Quote: "The convoy was heading towards the city of Vovchansk, which is a crucial area for us. The convoy included ambulances, buses for potential evacuees and two trucks with more than 20 tons of humanitarian aid.

As soon as they moved from our district of Saltivka and into the territory temporarily not controlled by our armed forces, communication was cut off. Together with the President's Office and Iryna Vereshchuk, we spent several hours trying to establish their location."

Details: As reported by Synegubov, according to GPS data it seems like the humanitarian convoy is currently under the control of the aggressors’ forces. 

He additionally reported that a different humanitarian column, which was headed to the village of Mala Rogan, was stopped by the Ukrainian forces due to a high risk of enemy fire. 

"When we were sending evacuation convoys to Mala Rogan, it consisted of humanitarian aid and medicines, and there were ambulances in the lead. However, at the first checkpoint before the territories currently not under Ukrainian Army control, we were warned that a provocation was being prepared and that there was a plan to shoot at our humanitarian convoy. Naturally, we decided to change the original plan and use it in a different location", said the head of military administration. 

Synegubov also said that in the night of Saturday to Sunday, the occupiers' army attempted a push toward Dergachiv and Izyum, but they were completely defeated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"Kharkiv is under the full control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They hold their positions firmly and are not going to give in to them. We are ready for any scenarios!", he stressed.
