Russians are striking Kharkiv region from the air with FAB-500 missiles and bombs. In addition, in recent days, they have begun to hit Vovchansk with heavy flamethrower systems “Solntsepyok”. Nazar Voloshyn, spokesman for the Khortytsia operational and strategic group of troops, said this during a telethon.
“Most of the city is controlled by the Ukrainian Defense Forces. The enemy combines ground assaults with air strikes to achieve success. The enemy is also using heavy flamethrower systems TOS2 “Solntsepyok” in Vovchansk. They strike with thermobaric ammunition, destroying buildings and civilian infrastructure on their way,” he said.
Voloshyn also spoke about the tactics of the Russians during the offensive.
“First, they send assault groups forward. These groups are trying to enter and drive in both on small lightly armored vehicles and on golf carts, buggies, and cross-country motorcycles. If the groups reach their goal, they try to gain a foothold. If they fail, it's a one-way ticket for them and they stay there because our Defense Forces destroy them,” Voloshyn noted.
