About 20 communities in the Kharkov Region are under the control of Russian forces, the head of the military-civilian administration Vitaly Ganchev said on Wednesday.







"We know that about 20 communities are already under the control of our armed forces. In addition, there are some communities in the gray zone," he said on the Rossiya-24 TV channel.

He also stated that the rest of the communities that had been under the control of Russian forces earlier would be systematically liberated. Fierce hostilities are in progress on the engagement line. The Ukrainian army is constantly bringing in reserves.


On January 31, Ganchev told TASS that the situation in the Russian-controlled communities of the Kharkov Region was difficult, as they were constantly under fire.


On September 10, 2022, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the regrouping of troops stationed in the Balakleya and Izyum districts of the Kharkov Region in order to step up efforts in Donbass. The region’s military-civilian administration announced evacuation, including to the territory of Russia.

"In the Krasny Liman area, the enemy is erecting new fortifications and building multilayered defensive lines. Not only servicemen and military equipment but also civilian municipal enterprises from the city of Kharkov are being involved in the engineering work," he said.


The Ukrainian military is also using agricultural machinery of private farms in the engineering work, he added.


Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov reported on February 14 that artillery, combat aircraft and heavy flamethrower systems of Russia’s battlegroup Center had eliminated as many as 100 Ukrainian personnel and a multiple launch rocket system in the Krasny Liman area in the past 24 hours.
