The situation in the Kharkiv region
Last week, Russian troops concentrated tens of thousands of their soldiers on the border with Ukraine near the Kharkiv region.
The enemy then launched a large-scale offensive on the region. Against this backdrop, the shelling of border settlements has significantly intensified.
Yesterday, on May 13, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukrainian defenders were able to achieve results in the Kharkiv region.
