UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Apr 14 — Russians tried to assault Ukrainian positions near Vovchansk on armored vehicles and quad bikes, the “Khortytsia” operational-strategic group of forces reported.

Russian troops conduct attacks like that often, searching for weaknesses in Ukraine’s defense. Last week, they tried to assault Kupiansk’s outskirts with infantry troops riding on quad bikes and armored vehicles.

Military reports that the Russian army tried to push through to the settlements of Vozniesienovka and Vovchanski Khutory with three armored vehicles and eight quad bikes.

“They (Russians — ed.) tried to deploy assault troops under the fire cover. We destroyed two armored vehicles and six quad bikes of the enemy; one vehicle returned to Russians’ positions, and two bikes, they left on the battlefield,” the “Khortytsia” statement said.

Now, according to the military, the Ukrainian army is searching for and eliminating the remains of Russian assault groups.

Last week, the Russian army intensified strikes from aviation to 35 per day on the Kharkiv axis.
