Russia launches new ground offensive in Ukraine's Kharkiv region

ai generated text

Russia launched attacks on eastern Ukraine's Kharkiv region, securing two pockets along the border totaling around 130 km2. However, the advance is shallow, reaching only eight kilometers deep and has not breached the main defense line. Over 30 villages and towns in the region have been pounded by Russian forces, with reports of intense shelling and gunfire. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the situation as "fierce fighting," while Russian President Vladimir Putin replaced Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

    1. There are villages that have actually turned from a 'grey zone' into a combat zone, and the occupier is trying to gain a foothold in some of them, or simply use them for further advancement.
    2. Russia has begun a new wave of counteroffensive actions in this direction. Now there is a fierce battle in this direction.
    3. We will invariably destroy the occupier in such a way as to thwart any Russian offensive intentions.
    4. It is important that our partners support our soldiers and Ukrainian resilience with timely deliveries -- really timely ones.
    5. Defensive battles are ongoing, fierce battles, on a large part of our border area.
    6. But our army and our military command were aware of this and calculated their capabilities to meet the enemy with fire. Now a fierce battle is underway.
    7. Russia launched a new wave of counter-offensive actions in this area. Ukraine met them there with our troops, brigades and artillery ... Now there is a fierce battle under way in this area.
    8. We must disrupt Russian offensive operations and return the initiative to Ukraine.
    9. Our troops are carrying out counterattacks there for a second day, protecting Ukrainian territory.
    10. Every air defence system, every anti-missile system is literally what saves lives.

    1. We know the enemy's plans and react flexibly to their action.

    1. Russia will likely increase the intensity of fire and commit additional troops in an attempt to establish a shallow buffer zone along the Ukrainian border.
  7. Yevgeny Poddubny
    1. We're pushing the enemy back from the border, destroying the enemy in order to deprive the Kyiv regime of the opportunity to use relatively cheap rockets to attack Belgorod.
  8. Luke Harding
    1. Now they are using the classic encirclement tactics that are taught in Russian military school – advancing around targets like Vovchansk to cut them off, and then swallow them up.
    2. There is obviously a desire to take control of Kharkiv.
    3. Putin's short-term strategic objective is to reach the administrative borders of Donetsk province. If that happens, it would be an enormous moment, and a triumph for Putin.
    4. To defend against this surge, Ukraine is having to send reinforcements to the north-east.
