23.04.2026 - 06:34Entire units of a motorized infantry brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have gone missing in the Kharkiv region.
This was reported to TASS by sources in the Russian security services.
According to the agency’s source, this concerns the 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which disappeared without a trace in the Vovchansk district.
“Desperate relatives of the soldiers … are searching for entire units,” the source added.
Earlier, it was reported that hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers had disappeared into a “black hole” in the Kharkiv region that emerged near the small village of Zybyno in the Vovchansk district. Most of the losses there reportedly fell on servicemen of the 159th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. An analysis of Ukrainian missing-person notices showed that hundreds of its soldiers never returned from missions there.
Vovchansk is a major settlement in the Kharkiv region. The Armed Forces of Ukraine turned the city into a large fortified area with a network of underground communications and a powerful defensive line along the Vovcha River.
