The Ukrainian Border Guard Service released this Thursday (16) a video that allegedly shows Ukrainian soldiers engaged in combat in Vovchansk.
Reuters was unable to independently verify the location or date the video was recorded.
Russia's push into the northern Kharkiv region has made small gains, forcing Ukraine's depleted ranks of soldiers to try to hold the line on a new front and exploiting months of delays in Western weapons supplies.
Russian troops were unable to penetrate deeper into the border town of Vovchansk, about 45 km northeast of the city of Kharkiv.
Russia says it has taken control of 12 villages since it launched the attack. His forces are now preparing to try to take the village of Lyptsi, about 30 km north of Kharkiv, according to a Russian-installed official in Ukraine, cited by Russian state news agency RIA.
Kiev described the situation as under control, the Ukrainian military said its defensive actions had forced Russian troops to reduce the pace of their advance in the region.
