Ukraine repels surprise Russian attack in Kharkiv region | BBC News


"Russia has launched a new wave of counteroffensive operations in the Kharkiv sector," said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Ukrainian commanders have been expecting a summer offensive for some time, but officials are adamant Russia does not have the resources to do so.

The defence ministry in Kyiv said “there was an attempt by the enemy to break through our defensive line under the cover of armoured vehicles. As of now, these attacks have been repulsed, fighting of varying intensity continues.”

The return of heavy fighting in the north-east further illustrates Russia’s growing confidence and ambition.
