Russia’s Defence Ministry said its forces had taken control of the village of Starytsya in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region on Saturday, near the border town of Vovchansk. Kyiv’s military did not confirm the claim, while Russian forces also reported strikes on drone and energy sites.
Russia’s statement came amid an ongoing push by Moscow’s troops to expand their foothold in the northeastern Kharkiv region, where fighting has persisted since a Russian incursion in May 2024. The village is located close to the Ukrainian border, making it strategically significant for controlling access routes and supply lines.
Ukraine’s General Staff reported six attacks in the area including Starytsya but did not acknowledge any territorial losses. Independent verification of the battlefield claims was not immediately possible, a common issue in the war where both sides often provide competing accounts.
The Russian Defence Ministry also said its forces carried out a large overnight strike on Ukrainian long-range drone sites and energy infrastructure. These attacks have been part of a broader campaign targeting Ukraine’s utilities and military assets, intensifying pressure on frontline regions.
