Ukrainian military debunks Putin's claims of seizing Kharkiv Oblast village

Ukraine's 14th Army Corps says Russian claims of capturing Kozacha Lopan in Kharkiv Oblast are false and that the settlement remains under Ukrainian control, though it describes the surrounding situation as tense with active combat. The corps reports Russian forces have lost 178 killed and 210 wounded since operations near the village began.

Over the past day, Ukrainian troops say they repelled seven assaults in the Pivdenno-Slobozhanskyi direction as Russian forces pushed toward several nearby settlements. The military urged the public to trust only official channels over Russian claims.
