Synyehubov, Verbatim: "Our Armed Forces hold their positions."

"Today they were checked by Ka-52 combat helicopters. This attack was repulsed. It happened literally an hour before our broadcast (about 18:30 - ed.)."

"Our Armed Forces similarly keep the movement of aggressors’ armed forces under control, in particular in Izyum town direction. This is because they (Russians - ed.) understand that they have already essentially lost their battle for Kharkiv. And that's why they concentrated their formations in that direction."

Details: Oleh Synyehubov said that currently Izyum is in the worst situation in the region. There is no mobile communication, no electricity, heat, gas and water supply, and the aggressors have failed to confirm a "green corridor" for humanitarian cargo for several days.

According to him, the utility service providers are working to restore heat supply in Lozova after missile strikes. Rescuers are dismantling the rubble in search of civilians.

About 100 tons of humanitarian aid with food and medicine arrive in Kharkiv every day, according to Oleh Synyehubov. Then logistics centres and volunteers distribute the aid among the people.

Background:

Russian aggressors launched a missile attack on Lozova town in the evening on March 22, killing at least one person and injuring nine others.

Defenders of Ukraine shot down a cruise missile of the Russian aggressors in the sky over the Kharkiv region and destroyed a column of military equipment of the occupiers at night on March 22.

The aggressors fired at a civilian car in the Kharkiv region, killing a 9-year-old girl and her parents, and seriously injuring a 17-year-old brother.
