Ukrainian forces are advancing northeast

By A Staff Reporter : According to the head of the regional military administration in the northeastern city, Ukrainian troops are advancing north and northeast of Kharkiv, as the pace of counter-attacks has increased over the past week.Oleh Siniyehubov told Ukrainian television on Tuesday that fighting was raging in the town of Vovchansk on the Russia-Ukraine border, northeast of Ukraine's second-largest city.The city has become a supply route for Russian forces as they try to sustain their attacks further south in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.Disruption of this supply line could compromise the Russians' ability to intensify their attacks on Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.Sinihubov added: "There is active hostility in the settlements north of the region, the enemy is concentrating on the position. Our troops have to resist every inch (on them) of our territory. There has been relative silence for the last two weeks. It hurts. "
