Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has travelled to the city of Kharkiv and said the situation in the northeast is “under control” after the military managed to partially halt a Russian advance, most notably thwarting an invasion of the key border town of Vovchansk.
“The situation in the Kharkiv region is generally under control, and our soldiers are inflicting significant losses on the occupier. However, the area remains extremely difficult,” Zelenskyy said on Thursday in a post on Telegram after hearing reports from his commanders in the capital of the Kharkiv region, where Russia launched a lightning incursion last week.
