Russian troops tried to storm the “Goptivka” checkpoint in the Kharkiv region

Russian troops made an attempt to break through the state border of Ukraine in order to storm the checkpoint “Hoptivka” in the Kharkiv region. The defense forces of Ukraine repelled the attack, giving the enemy a resolute repulse. About this informs Vyacheslav Zadorenko, head of Dergachyv city military administration.
He denied the statements of the Russian side about the alleged “capture” of the checkpoint, calling them misinformation. According to him, “Hoptivka” remains completely under the control of the Ukrainian military.
“Since this news is beginning to gain public resonance, I consider it necessary to inform you that the occupiers did storm this checkpoint. As a result, the fighters of the 58th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade eliminated more than ten invaders, and dozens of others fled back to Russia.” – emphasized Zadorenko.
It will be recalled that on July 15, the spokesman of the “Kharkiv” OTU, Pavlo Shamshin, reported that in the Kharkiv direction, the Russian army suffers losses at the level of an entire company every day – about 100 killed and wounded. Despite this, the enemy does not stop its assault. Shamshin also noted that the Russian troops have a numerical advantage, and their current tactics consist in trying to stretch Ukrainian defenses.
