On the morning of May 10, there were reports that the Russians were trying to break through the defense line in the north of the Kharkiv region. Later, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Russian troops had launched a new wave of offensive operations in the Kharkiv direction. Shelling of border communities in Kharkiv region also intensified.
In the evening of May 10, the General Staff reports that in the north of Kharkiv region, fighting continues for the settlements that were actually in the gray zone - Strelecha, Pylna, and Borysivka, as well as in the Oliynikove and Ohirtseve districts. The latter are located a little deeper into our territory.
Vovchansk is a city in the north of Kharkiv region. The border with Russia is about 5 km away. Since May 10, due to the aggravation of the situation on the border in the Vovchansk community, the active evacuation of the local population continues, in particular in the city of Vovchansk.
*We got to Vovchansk in the evening of May 11. At that time, the city was completely covered in smoke, the surrounding forests were burning, and the shelling did not stop. On the morning of May 12, the evacuation of local residents continued in Vovchansk, which we managed to film. More than 300 people were evacuated from the city during the day.
Many thanks to the police, volunteers and emergency services, who save lives and continue to evacuate the local population of Vovchansk despite heavy shelling. Thanks also to Kharkiv Media Hub for their help in organizing our report.
