A fresh wave of invading Russian forces have been contained by the border near Kharkiv, Ukraine’s military said after Vladimir Putin’s forces claimed to capture five villages.
Moscow’s troops were being held back in a militarily contested “gray zone”, a spokesperson of the Khortytsia group of forces told national TV.
“The enemy is contained in the gray zone, and it is not expanding,” Nazar Voloshyn said.
The Ukrainian military said reinforcements were sent to the region to help stabilise positions and limit Russia’s advances after it launched its new offensive on Friday.
Artillery, mortar, and aerial bombardments hit more than 30 different towns and villages, killing at least three people and injuring five others, said Kharkiv Gov. Oleh Syniehubov.
“As of now the enemy keeps pressing in the north of our region,” he said.
Kharkiv’s governor, Oleh Syniehubov, said there was no imminent danger to the region’s capital city, which is also Ukraine’s second largest, amid active fighting in the region.
He said there was no need to begin evacuating the roughly 1.3 million inhabitants who continue to live there despite regular missile and drone strikes.
“We clearly understand what forces the enemy is using in the north of our territory. Certainly, the escalation can grow, the pressure can increase, it can strengthen its military units, its military presence,” he said.
“As of now the enemy keeps pressing in the north of our region. Our forces have repelled nine attacks,” he told a news conference.
