Strikes on Kharkiv

Russian troops are using their guided aerial bombs to strike Kharkiv. The attacks intensified after the enemy began an offensive on the Kharkiv region from the north.

However, today, on June 10, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleh Syniehubov, stated that there have been fewer strikes on Kharkiv with the S-300 air defense systems. This happened after Ukraine was allowed to strike Russian territory with Western weapons.
