What is known about the battles in the Kharkiv region

Russian offensive in the Kharkiv region
In May, the Russian army launched an offensive operation in the Kharkiv region. Russian troops crossed the Ukrainian border from the territory of the Belgorod region in the direction of the city of Vovchansk, as well as in the direction of Kharkiv. However, the Russian troops did not manage to advance further than 7-8 kilometers.
The Russian plan to capture Vovchansk also failed, although the invaders managed to enter the city. Currently, fierce fighting is taking place in the border town, but most of it is under the control of the Ukrainian army.
