Near Balakliya, Kharkiv region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down a Russian plane. This was announced on Monday, April 18, by the head of the Kharkiv OVA Oleg Sinegubov in the Telegram.
“The Armed Forces of Ukraine has scored many victories, including in the direction of Izyum (…) For example, today the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down an enemy plane in the area of Balakliya,” Sinegubov wrote.
He mentioned that the fight was going on, so he couldn’t talk about all the events yet.
Sinegubov also said that the occupiers were continuing the “war” on the civilian population of the Kharkiv region.
“Such attacks against the civilian population are clearly a reaction to the poor attempt by the Russians to take Kharkov, which ended in their defeat at the beginning of the aggression,” the UVA leader said.
According to the head of the National Police in the Kharkiv region, Sergei Bolvinov, 13 civilians were killed that day as a result of the shelling of Russian troops in the Kharkiv region.
