Russia's military has announced the capture of five villages in the Kharkiv region on the border with Ukraine as part of a new offensive. Ukrainian authorities, however, have stated that they are repelling the attacks and that the fighting is ongoing.
The surprise cross-border attack by Russia began on Friday, with two assaults inside northern Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky referred to this as a 'new wave of counteroffensive actions' by Russia.
