Ukrainian forces refute Russian claim of capturing Khrapivshchyna in Sumy region

According to Ukrinform, the 47th Mechanized Brigade "Magura" said this in a Facebook post.

The brigade stressed that the alleged capture of Khrapivshchyna, which is within the 47th Brigade's area of responsibility, is yet another piece of Russian disinformation.

"There was no breach of the [Ukrainian] defenses. Warriors of the 47th Mechanized Brigade continue to hold their designated positions," the brigade said.

The military urged the public to treat any enemy information and psychological operations with a critical eye.

Russian propaganda previously claimed that Russia's Sever military grouping had captured Vasylivka, Dovzhanka, Blahodatne and Slyzneve and had allegedly "closed the Vovchansk cauldron." That information was also false.
