What is the situation in the border area of Kharkiv region?
The Kharkiv region borders the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation. In recent weeks, Russian propagandists have launched an information campaign about an attack on Kharkiv.
On 10 May, Russian troops began massively shelling the border settlements of Kharkiv region, including Vovchansk and villages, with artillery and anti-aircraft guns, and enemy subversive reconnaissance groups also tried to break through the border.
The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine reported an attempt to break through the border by Russian troops. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the Russian offensive in Kharkiv region had been repelled.
In the first hours after Russia's activation, a grey zone on the map of the Deep State resource, which monitors the situation at the front, appeared on the border near the Kharkiv region.
Initially, it appeared near the village of Pletenivka. According to the latest data, there are already two such grey zones in the Kharkiv region — 52.5 square kilometres and 26.5 square kilometres.
Nazar Voloshyn, a spokesman for the Khortytsia military unit, believes that the Russian army is trying to distract key Ukrainian forces from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions by demonstrating in the border area in Kharkiv region.
