As tensions escalate in Ukraine, the Russian offensive in Kharkiv underscores the disparity in military capabilities between Moscow and Kiev. The delay in US arms supply to Ukraine has left them vulnerable, with concerns growing that Russia might divert attention to the Donbas region.

Evacuations are underway in Vovchansk, a key town under attack, with fears rising over the safety of residents and neighboring cities. Ukrainian President Zelenskiy warns of a potential second Russian assault and calls for increased air defense support.

The rapid evacuation of nearly 10,000 people from Kharkiv highlights the severity of the situation, as Russian forces make significant territorial gains. Despite ongoing challenges, Ukrainian frontline troops await crucial artillery support from Western allies to counter Russian advancements.
