"According to latest information of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, four tanks of the Russian occupiers were burnt on the bypass road of Kharkiv. Also, according to the Joint Forces Command, about 50 Russian occupiers were killed in the area Shchastia,” the press service of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine posted on Facebook.

At about 05:00, the state border of Ukraine in the sections near the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus was attacked by Russian troops supported by Belarus. Attacks on border units, border patrols, and checkpoints are carried out with the use of artillery, heavy equipment, and small arms in Luhansk, Sumy, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, and Zhytomyr regions.

I'm posting what I can to try and inform everyone of the Ukrainian's fighting back. The Russians are likely behind some sort of cyber attack for this web site, so if the link doesn't work, know that I have posted the full article. Beware, there is disinformation being circulated out there!!
