Ukrainian military debunks Putin's claims of seizing Kharkiv Oblast village
Russian claims alleging the capture of Kozacha Lopan in Kharkiv Oblast are completely untrue, Ukraine's 14th Army Corps announced on Sept. 2.
Ukrainian officials have dismissed claims made by Russia that the country has seized control of the Kozacha Lopan village in Kharkiv Oblast. The Ukrainian 14th Army Corps released a statement on September 2, asserting that the settlement is still firmly under Ukrainian Defense Forces' control. Despite the claims, the tactical situation near the border remains volatile, with ongoing combat taking place.
The military disclosed that the forces are maintaining their defensive lines, actively defending and launching systematic fire strikes against the enemy. In the skirmishes since the beginning of operations near Kozacha Lopan, Russian occupation troops have suffered 178 fatalities and 210 injuries. In response to these false allegations, the 14th Army Corps urged the public to trust only official sources and disregard any Russian disinformation.
In the recent 24-hour period in the Pivdenno-Slobozhanskyi operational zone, Ukrainian troops thwarted seven enemy attacks. Russian forces attempted to advance towards Volokhivka, Domashnye, Bochhkove, Vovchanski Khutory, and Starytsya.
