Ukraine says its soldiers recaptured a Russian stronghold after hand-to-hand fighting
Vovchansk in Ukraine's northeast that had been occupied for four months, officials said Tuesday.
The plant, a partly steel structure with some 30 buildings, had been a Russian stronghold in the Kharkiv border region since May when Russia sought to further stretch Ukraine's weary forces by launching a fresh push in the area.
Taking back the plant was likely intended to demonstrate that Ukraine is not giving up the fight despite being outmanned and outgunned by the Russian army. The accomplishment coincided with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's trip to the United States where he is looking to ensure continuing foreign support for his country with the war deep into its third year.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to grind down Ukraine's appetite for the fight and sap the West's support for Kyiv by drawing out the conflict. Russian forces have been creeping forward on the battlefield this year but the progress has been costly. The U.K. Defense Ministry estimates more than 1,000 Russian troops are being killed or wounded each day.
A statement from Ukrainian Military Intelligence said its units recaptured the Vovchansk plant after fierce fighting «in densely built-up conditions.»
