Russian Lozovaya in the Kharkiv region: what is known
- The village of Russkaya Lozovaya is one of the largest in the suburbs of Kharkov. This is a strategically important settlement located on the Kharkiv-Belgorod highway.
- Having destroyed the manpower and equipment of the invaders, the military intelligence unit of Ukraine took control of the settlement.
- The scouts secured Kharkiv residents from further shelling of enemy artillery from the northern side of the city, because it was from Ruska Lozova that the occupiers precisely destroyed infrastructure facilities and civilian houses in Kharkiv.
