For the second day in a row, Russian volunteers post videos from the village and assure that, apart from them, there is no other government in Novaya Tavolzhanka. It is controlled by the RDK and another voluntary formation of Russians fighting for Ukraine - the "Freedom of Russia" legion.
The governor of the Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, confirmed in a video message that the Russian army has lost control over the settlement, and Russian troops cannot enter it. According to him, about 100 civilians remain in the village. Before the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, more than 5,000 people lived in this settlement.

According to the testimonies of residents of the villages of Ohirtseve, Gatishche, Bugruvatka, and Staritsa, shelling by the Russian Federation has become more frequent in recent days. This is confirmed by the summary of the General Staff of the Armed Forces.
