Russia has launched a second attempt to capture Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, a move that threatens not just more territory loss for Ukraine but also one of its key cities, symbolizing resilience against Russian aggression.
Kharkiv, historically significant as a major city in Imperial Russia and the former capital of Soviet Ukraine, holds a prominent place in Ukrainian culture with a tumultuous past marked by persecution under Josef Stalin.
As an economic and cultural hub, Kharkiv was a center of transport, industry, and science in Soviet times, boasting high-tech industrial advancements and being home to key universities, including the first-ever Kharkiv Aviation Institute in Ukraine.
