The Russian offensive in the Kharkiv region intensifies as battles rage on in Vovchansk, with reports of burning houses and escalating tensions. Ukraine responds by deploying troops to the area to counter the advancing Russian forces.

The opening of a new front near Kharkiv marks tactical successes for Russia, as they quickly overrun villages but face Ukrainian resistance in protecting the metropolis. Intense artillery attacks by Russia on multiple towns and villages in Kharkiv province have caused casualties and mass displacement.

Speculation arises on Putin's strategic objectives behind the Kharkiv offensive, as Russian forces extend the front by 200 kilometers towards the Ukrainian metropolis. Despite initial setbacks, Ukraine celebrates successful defense on the third front, suspecting Russia's aim to establish a buffer zone in the region.

The replacement of the defense commander in Kharkiv follows rapid Russian advancements, underscoring the urgency to fortify the region and prevent further incursions.
