A number of claims and counterclaims are being made on the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the ground and online. While GlobalSecurity.org takes utmost care to accurately report this news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos.
On 24 February 2022, Ukraine was suddenly and deliberately attacked by land, naval and air forces of Russia, igniting the largest European war since the Great Patriotic War. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" (SVO - spetsialnaya voennaya operatsiya) in Ukraine in response to the appeal of the leaders of the "Donbass republics" for help. That attack is a blatant violation of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Putin stressed that Moscow's goal is the demilitarization and denazification of the country. The military buildup in preceeding months makes it obvious that the unprovoked and dastardly Russian attack was deliberately planned long in advance. During the intervening time, the Russian government had deliberately sought to deceive the world by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
"To initiate a war of aggression... is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." [Judgment of the International Military Tribunal]
The UK Ministry of Defence reported that in late September 2024, Ukrainian forces recaptured and cleared the Volchansky chemical plant in Vovchansk, Kharkiv oblast. The chemical plant acted as a Russian stronghold, enabling tactical operations on the Vovcha River. Its loss will likely limit opportunities for Russian Ground Forces (RGF) to advance in Kharkiv oblast. It is likely that Ukrainian control of the plant will facilitate further counter offensives in the north of the city to push the RGF back towards the Ukraine-Russia border.
Vovchansk has been contested since May 2024, when the RGF began an offensive operation in the Kharkiv oblast, likely to create a 'buffer zone' to deter and mitigate against any Ukrainian attacks in the Belgorod area. This led to Vovchansk (5km south of the Ukraine-Russia border) being a heavily contested city with both sides striving to push the other out of the area.
Russia has drawn forces away from the Vovchansk area to support operations in Kursk oblast, where Ukraine has occupied a salient of Russian territory since August 2024. This has almost certainly reduced the RGF capabilities in the Vovchansk area.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Defense Forces are directing efforts to disrupt the execution of Russian invaders' offensive plans and exhaust their combat potential.
