Quote: "The Russians continue to terrorize the civilian population. Over the past 24 hours, the Russian occupying forces have launched about 53 artillery and rocket launcher system strikes.

Unfortunately, during the past 24 hours, 22 civilians, including 3 children, have been injured in shelling of the region. 7 people have died.

A two-year-old boy who was injured in shelling a few days ago has died in hospital. We will not forgive anything! The invaders are using pathetic methods, terrorising civilians.

I would like to inform you once again that there are no reasons for evacuation in Kharkiv. Believe me, our Ukrainian Armed Forces are destroying a lot of equipment and Russian military personnel every day. Trust our defenders and keep calm!"

Details: Syniehubov said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are holding their positions, defending Kharkiv and the region and strengthening its military presence, reserves and weapons.

The Ukrainian army has been successful on the Rogan and Derhachi fronts. On the Izyum front the Ukrainian Armed Forces are constantly fighting to prevent the occupying forces from passing through to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
