Russian advance on the Kharkiv front

On May 10, Russian forces began an offensive in northern Kharkiv region. The adversary managed to breach the border and reach the city of Vovchansk. However, Ukrainian Armed Forces subsequently stabilized the situation and halted the Russian advance. The enemy also attempted to consolidate positions in the village of Sotnytskyi Kozachok, but it has recently been reported that a sabotage and reconnaissance group successfully expelled them from the settlement.

Moreover, concurrently, as part of the summer campaign, the Russian army continues active offensive operations of varying intensity across the front line.
