AB  - The Pechenihy Reservoir and the adjoining village of Staryi Saltiv are located about 50 kilometers from Kharkiv and form one of its recreational areas. The Pechenihy Reservoir was created between 1958 and 1962 on the Siverkyi Donets River. It is the main source of water supply for Kharkiv and agriculture east of the city.
In the first weeks of the war, the Ukrainian armed forces blew up the bridge on the dam over the Siverkyi Donets in Staryi Saltiv to make it more difficult for the invading Russian forces to reach Kharkiv. On September 20, 2022, as a result of numerous attacks by the Russian military, the upper sluice of the Pechenihy Dam in the Kharkiv region and part of the bridge were destroyed, severing the connection between Kharkiv and the municipality of Vovchansk.
