Russia is gathering another group of troops for a new offensive
The head of state, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, recorded his address in the destroyed printing house in Kharkiv, which was attacked by the Russians a few days ago. It was one of the largest printing enterprises in Europe.
"Just now, these days, we are defending ourselves 60 kilometers northeast of this place against another attempted Russian offensive," the president said.
Zelenskyy said that the Russians are gathering another group of troops near the border with Ukraine to launch an offensive.
Russia is preparing to attempt offensive actions, and 90 kilometres from here to the northwest (from Kharkiv, — ed.), another group of troops is gathering near our border. He who does all this does not want peace.

What is the situation in Kharkiv and the region
On May 10, Russian troops went on the offensive north of the Kharkiv region. Currently, fighting is taking place in Vovchansk and neighbouring settlements.
