The Joint Forces group reports fighting between the villages of Hraniv and Kozacha Lopan. According to Ukrainska Pravda, the presence of Russian troops has also been recorded in Kozacha Lopan itself for at least a week.
Russian forces have been in neighboring villages for two to three months, the Derhachi city administration reports.
The Joint Forces group says Russian troops may try to develop the offensive and break through in this area.
