Fierce fighting in Vovchansk as Ukrainian troops try to isolate the invading Russian units

Fierce fighting is taking place around the Ukrainian city of Vovchansk as Kiev troops seek to isolate Russian units that have advanced across the border nearby.

Heavy fighting is taking place at an assembly plant on the northern edge of Vovchansk, according to military bloggers on both sides of the conflict.

A Ukrainian squad commander, Stanislav Buniatov, known as Osman, described the situation in Vovchansk, east of Kharkiv and a few miles from the state border, as difficult but controlled and said Russian troops were surrounded.

Our guys are not losing their positions, occasionally conducting successful attacks, clearing positions and pushing the enemy back, Buniatov said in a Telegram post on Sunday.

Russian forces began crossing the border in numbers last month in a multi-pronged offensive that the Kremlin said was designed to create a buffer zone that would prevent Ukrainians from attacking Russian cities such as Belgorod.

At first they took several villages near the border and advanced to the edge of Vovchansk, which was retaken by Ukrainian forces in September 2022 after being occupied for several months.

DeepState, a Ukrainian monitoring group, says small groups of Russian soldiers have repeatedly tried to secure the aggregate plant but have been pushed back by Ukrainian forces.

Suggesting that resupplying Russian soldiers has become difficult, DeepState says food and water are being delivered to them by drone.

The videos, geolocated by CNN, show Ukrainian drones striking the factory in recent days.

Russian military blogger WarGonzo said on Telegram that fighting in the area is fierce as Ukrainian troops are launching counterattacks, trying to drive the Russian Armed Forces from their occupied positions, but did not mention the troops that are surrounded.

On Sunday, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement that troops improved the situation along the front line and overwhelmed the manpower and equipment of Ukrainian troops in the areas of the settlements of Vovchansk, Synelnykove and Vovchanski Khutory in the Kharkiv region.

Ukraine's Defense Ministry chose not to comment on CNN's request for more information.
