Ukrainian forces said they now control the eastern bank of the Oskil River in the Kharkiv region, cementing strategic gains as part of a rapid counteroffensive and putting them closer to the Russian-held cities of Donetsk and Luhansk, while Moscow continues to launch attacks against civilian infrastructure in Ukraine following its military setbacks in the country’s east.
Strategic Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces posted a video on social media on Sunday that appeared to show an armored vehicle crossing the river, along with the message, “Ukraine controls the left bank.”
