The Russian military reportedly seized Striliche, Krasne, Pylna, and Borysivka. Russians are trying to advance towards Vovchansk, according to Ukrainska Pravda.
Russia has bombarded Kharkiv again with three aerial bombs, injuring at least 10 civilians. The city is continuously targeted since 2022. Today's attack targeted residential areas in the Shevchenkivskyi district.
Russian military employs "amoeba tactics" in Ukraine, spreading forces thinly, aiming for opportunistic gains, Estonian Maj-Gen Enno Mõts explains, adding that Russia's air attacks aim to strain Western support by escalating reconstruction costs.
In the last 24 hours, Russian forces have attacked multiple Ukrainian border regions with drones and types of weaponry. Targets included locations in Kharkiv, Donetsk and the Sumy regions, with multiple wounded and fatal casualties as a result.
As Russia's attacks persist, Ukraine is digging deep to create safe spaces for learning and birth, with underground schools in Kharkiv, shelter-based maternity wards in Lviv, and children's play areas in Kherson Oblast.
Zelenskyy stressed the importance of strengthening air defense, restoring electricity and water supply, and building bomb shelters in schools of the Oblast.
