Ukrainian defenders from the 13th National Guard Brigade “Khartiia” repelled an attempted assault by Russian occupation forces near Lyptsi in the Kharkiv region, eliminating about 70 enemy troops.

They shared corresponding footage on Thursday, January 15, on their social media pages.

The footage shows both combat operations against the enemy using strike UAVs and the aftermath recorded by Ukrainian infantry.

“Thanks to the coordinated interaction of ‘Khartiia’ fighters — infantry, UAV operators, artillerymen, and other units — the attempt failed. We continue to defend Kharkiv region and keep Kharkiv locked down”, — the brigade said.

They also added that despite heavy losses, Russian forces do not abandon attempts to advance in Kharkiv region.
