The Kremlin denied a failed ground offensive in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, stating they were protecting civilians from Ukrainian shelling along the border. Russia launched an assault into Kharkiv in May to establish a “security zone.” Belgorod’s governor restricted access to 14 border villages due to ongoing attacks. The offensive is ongoing, with over 200 people killed since February. Russian forces made gains in Donetsk, possibly diverting Ukrainian troops. Kyiv claims attacks on Russia are responses to aggression. Ukraine reinforced troops in Kharkiv after the offensive in May.
