War in Ukraine: Ukrainians advance on Kharkiv – Zelensky asks for more equipment

Ukrainian forces are advancing north of Kharkiv, in addition to the south and east, a day after their surprise territorial gains forced the Russians to abandon their main stronghold in the area.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the advance, seeing it as a potential turning point in the war and asserting that winter could bring more territorial gains if Kyiv received more powerful equipment.

“In the Kharkiv area, we started to advance not only to the south and east but also to the north. There are 50 kilometers to the border (with Russia),” assured the head of the army, General Valery Zaluzny. According to the general, the country’s armed forces have recaptured more than 3,000 square kilometers since the beginning of the month.

From Moscow, the Defense Ministry claimed that Russian forces were hitting Ukrainian army positions in the Kharkiv region with precision strikes by airborne units, missiles and artillery.
