Kharkiv authorities call on citizens to leave Vovchansk.

In the Kharkiv region, the Russians chose the tactic of complete destruction of the city of Vovchansk.

Oleg Sinegubov, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, said this today, May 13, during a briefing. “The Russians began to destroy the city of Vovchansk,” Sinegubov said.

He emphasized that it is actually impossible to be in Vovchansk now, because the Russians are destroying the city with all kinds of weapons.

The Russians are trying to encircle or semi-encircle the city of Vovchansk, some groups of Russians came even from the eastern or southern direction. Defense forces destroy groups of Russians. Access roads to Vovchansk are shot through, forest fires continue there.

The head of the regional military administration called on citizens to evacuate, as fighting is going on in the north of the city, and street shootings are ongoing. There are currently up to 200 civilians in Vovchansk.

At this time, 5,900 people have already been deported from the north of the Kharkiv region.
