Dozens of Russian troops have been cut off at a building site in the city of Vovchansk, Kharkiv Oblast, not hundreds as previously reported by Forbes, Yurii Povkh, spokesman for the Kharkiv Operational Strategic Group (OSG), has said.

Quote: “I would like to point out that, first of all, the Russians do not operate with the numbers of personnel mentioned in this report. The figure of 400 people [reported by Forbes] is impossible to confirm because it does not exist.”
Details: Povkh further noted that the Kharkiv OSG takes a responsible approach to commenting on the situation at the front, refraining from making real-time or short-term comments, as the lives of Ukrainian soldiers depend on it.
“Regarding the blocking of a particular Russian unit at a building site in the city of Vovchansk, this is a fact. However, there are not hundreds, but dozens of invaders who are currently cut off in a specific area of the city,” Povkh said.
Background:
- Earlier, Forbes reported that Russian soldiers were surrounded at a Vovchansk chemical plant due to heavy bombardment by Ukrainian glide bombs.
- Forbes said 30 of the Russians had recently been captured by Ukrainian forces, and about 400 more had nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.
