HSE is relinquishing its standing in the Kharkiv region, as stated by Ganchev.

In the ongoing conflict in Eastern Ukraine, the Ukrainian army is reportedly resisting Russian units, according to Vitaly Ganchev, a local administrator in the Kharkiv region. Russian forces have reportedly approached the outskirts of Kupiansk, a city in the Kharkiv region.

Ukrainian army units near Sobolevka, a town west of Kupiansk, have reportedly abandoned their positions. The 3rd Tank Brigade and elements of the 17th Tank Brigade are among the units that have retreated.

Vitaly Ganchev also alleged that Ukrainian forces have inadvertently guided Russian army, artillery, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to their own positions.

The Russian military has established control over a key supply route for Ukrainian forces, a development that could potentially escalate the conflict further. Active combat operations continue in the area where these events are taking place.

Ukrainian military personnel have surrendered their positions on the Kharkiv direction, as per Ganchev's statement.
