Ukraine drives Russian troops out of positions in Strilecha-Hlyboke direction, Kharkiv region — Khortytsia grouping:
Nazar Voloshyn, spokesman for the Khortytsia operational and strategic troop grouping, says that the Ukrainian Defense Forces are driving Russian forces out of their positions in Kharkiv region
He shared the information on Espreso TV.
“In the direction of Strilecha - Hlyboke in the Kharkiv region, the Ukrainian Defense Forces are successfully driving the occupiers out of their positions. The enemy's offensive in this area has been halted. Systematic work is underway to drive the enemy back from their positions. Also, the Ukrainian Defense Forces units have timely reached the defensive lines,” said Voloshyn.
He also mentioned that assault operations are ongoing in the Vovchansk direction.
“The enemy is trying to saturate the Vovchansk direction with equipment and personnel to prevent the Ukrainian Defense Forces from seizing the initiative completely. The enemy conducted 13 combat clashes in the area of Neskuchne and Starytsia yesterday. Assault operations also took place in the area of Lyptsi, but to no avail for the enemy. Today, the occupiers have already conducted 8 assault operations. The units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces pushed them back,” he added. --->READ MORE HERE

Frontline report: Russian encirclement operation of Vovchansk fails despite strategic bridge strikes
With an estimated 8,000 troops deployed in the Kharkiv direction, and likely no more than 5,000 in the Vovchansk area, Russian forces have been unable to sustain the prolonged offensive needed to capture the city.
As of 25 May, there are a lot of updates from the Kharkiv direction.
Note: On 10 May, Russian forces launched an offensive in Kharkiv direction, with a city of Vovchansk being their main target.
In Vovchansk area, Russian forces conducted strikes on bridges over the Siversky-Donets and Vovcha rivers in hopes of improving their chance of degrading Ukrainian ground lines of communication and quickly seizing Vovchansk.
Bridge strikes
The most critical Russian strike targeted the Siversky-Donets Dam bridge near Stary Saltiv. For this operation, Russians used a Kh-38 air-to-surface missile with a two-hundred-and-fifty-kilogram high-explosive warhead. Kh-38 has a forty-kilometer range, while the bridge is only twenty-five kilometers from the Russian border, making it very vulnerable.
Ukrainian air defenses had no time to react to the missile launch because it was launched too close to the target, leaving no time for interception. The footage of the strike on the bridge was recorded by an Orlan-Thirty reconnaissance drone, which was likely assigned to report on the success of the strike and correct the strike if needed.
This bridge near Stary Saltiv is the most crucial supply line connecting the group of forces in Kharkiv with other Ukrainians defending both Vovchansk and Kupiansk.
With the bridge near Rubizhne being destroyed during the first Kharkiv offensive, and with the bridge near Buhrovatka being too close to the frontline to be used for relocation of substantial forces, Ukrainians were left only with the bridge on the Pechenihy dam as the only remaining Ukrainian ground line of communication to Vovchansk and Kupiansk. --->READ MORE HERE
