TODAY:
Russia said on Sunday that it had seized four more villages – Hatyshche, Krasne, Morokhovets, Oliinykove – in the Kharkiv region, which borders Russia’s Belgorod region, after claiming to have seized five more on Saturday.
The assault threatens to open a second front in the 27-month war, with Ukraine on the defensive in the south and east, and could strech Ukrainian troops across two front lines at a crucial moment.
