Turning to Kharkiv. Zelensky announced that the Ukrainian army is taking back territory world

“Since the beginning of May this year, our forces have successfully repelled Russian attempts to advance towards Kharkiv and capture our city and the entire Kharkiv region. I am speaking to the Syrian commander (Alexander). We are gradually expelling Russian troops.” He said Zelensky in his evening speech.

Late Thursday, Ukraine’s 3rd Independent Assault Brigade reported that its forces had advanced nearly two square kilometers into the Kharkiv region. However, it did not release any details about the timing, scope and area of ​​the offensive.

“The main task of this operation was to weaken the offensive potential of the 20th Army of the Russian Federation. At present, this task has been completed,” Brigade Commander Andriy Biletsky said on Thursday.

Ukrainian troops took the initiative in the battle in the northeast of the country when they invaded Russian territory towards the city of Kursk. This was made possible, among other factors, by the delayed delivery of American weapons. Kiev frequently launched drone and rocket attacks. On the one hand, they caused new alarm in Moscow, and on the other hand, they managed to destroy fuel stored in multiple locations in Russia.

By contrast, the situation is dire in the Donetsk region of southeastern Ukraine, where the Russians continue their slow but so far unstoppable offensive.

On his own Latest Battle Analysis The US Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported that Ukrainian troops have made small advances in the Kursk region of Russia. On the other hand, Russia’s recent advance towards Pokrovsk has forced some Ukrainian troops to withdraw from some positions. According to him, the Russians failed to tactically surround the Ukrainians in Pokrovsk. At the same time, Ukrainian soldiers announced a counterattack in the Kharkiv region.
