Russian forces have conducted two cross-border assaults inside northern Ukraine, according to Ukrainian sources and officials. President Volodymyr Zelensky has labeled this as a 'new wave of counteroffensive actions' by Russia.
In the first incident, Russian soldiers advanced at least one kilometer towards the town of Vovchansk with the intention of creating a buffer zone at the border to protect Russian territory. Ukrainian Defense Ministry reported that Russian soldiers, supported by armored vehicles, crossed the border early Friday morning following intensified attacks in the border area.
