"This area near the border has been a de facto grey zone for a long time, no defence line was set up there, so the enemy managed to create a bridgehead up to 10 km wide and 5 km deep on the territory of Ukraine without any difficulties. The total area of the captured territory is over 30 square kilometres. This is about 40 kilometres from Kharkiv," the journalist said.

The enemy's further offensive was stopped due to the deployment of our troops and the infliction of fire on the Russians.
