Kharkiv

Ukrainian defense forces are successfully restraining Russian attempts to advance in the Lipetsk direction of Kharkiv region, and the enemy has no success there.

Russia does not have sufficient forces to launch a full-scale offensive against Kyiv as in 2022, but Ukraine and its allies must remain vigilant against potential Russian attacks, Zelenskyy warns.

At night and in the morning, Ukraine received emergency electricity supplies from Romania, Slovakia, and Poland due to Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.

Russia's offensive in Ukraine could consist of several waves, the first of which would be directed at the Kharkiv region, where Russian troops advanced but were eventually stopped by Ukrainian forces.

Evacuation efforts are ongoing in Kharkiv region: thanks to the joint efforts of emergency services, police, volunteers and local authorities, more than 9,900 civilians have been evacuated, including about 2,500 people from the Vovchansk community.

Three people are killed and 28 injured as a result of Russian rocket fire on Kharkiv.

According to President Zelenskyy, the entire Kharkiv operation by Russian troops is an attempt to weaken Ukrainian forces along the entire front line and to strengthen Russian propaganda aimed at world leaders.

25 people were wounded and 2 were killed as a result of enemy rocket fire in the Kholodnohirsk district of Kharkiv, Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov said.

In the Kharkiv region, the Ukrainian military has successfully repelled Russian attempts to advance and invade, despite constant shelling of civilians and the lack of timely weapons supplies, which gives the Russians an advantage.

In the Pokrovsk sector, the number of combat engagements increased to 21, with the enemy putting the most pressure on Ukrainian positions in the vicinity of Novooleksandrivka.

Russian invaders launched an unsuccessful attack in the area of Hlyboke-Liptsi in Kharkiv region, Ukrainian troops repelled the attack and inflicted losses on the enemy.

On May 10, when Russian troops launched a new offensive in the Kharkiv region, Starlink communication terminals used by the Ukrainian military stopped working due to Russian electronic jamming, making them "completely blind" and unable to track the movements of Russian troops.

19 people were injured and 2 were killed as a result of Russian rocket fire in the Kholodnohirsk district of Kharkiv.

Two people were killed and 13 injured, including 4 in serious condition, as a result of Russian strikes on Kharkiv.

Ukrainian troops repelled a Russian attack near Starytsia in Kharkiv region, while Russian-terrorist forces used air power to strike the areas of Harbuzivka and Bilyi Kolodyazh, and made unsuccessful attempts to improve their tactical positions near several settlements in the Kupyansk sector.

More than 9,300 people have been evacuated from the settlements bordering Russia in Kharkiv region.

The state budget allocated more than UAH 1. 5 billion for the reconstruction of Zmiivska TPP in Kharkiv region and Trypilska TPP in Kyiv region to ensure efficient and quick completion of the work.

More than 9,000 people have been evacuated from the border area of Kharkiv region, but the situation is complicated by constant shelling by the Russians, which makes each evacuation life-threatening.

Zelenskyy said that the reason why the Russians were able to enter the Kharkiv region is the lack of air defense, which allows them to use their advantages in artillery and aviation.

According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Vovchansk was a key target of the russian offensive in Kharkiv region, as they sought to control a 10-kilometer zone from the border, but the situation has now stabilized.
