Russia launched an armoured incursion into the Kharkiv region, capturing five villages near the border with Russia. Kyiv is pushing back, attempting to maintain control of the territory.
Kyiv is on the back foot as Russian forces slowly advance, taking advantage of Ukraine's troop and artillery shell shortages. Kharkiv's governor confirms active fighting within the frontier villages near the border.
Despite ongoing attacks, there is no immediate threat to Kharkiv city and its inhabitants. Ukrainian forces have repelled nine attacks and contained Russian troops in the borderlands.
