Ukraine’s Military Regains Ground in Northeast, Targets Another Russian River Crossing

As Ukraine’s military continues to take back Russian-occupied territory in Ukraine, outperforming expectations among leaders globally about its abilities before Russia’s invasion, ambitions are growing in Kyiv about what would define victory for Ukraine.

Ukrainian forces in the northeastern region of Kharkiv have regained territory at the Russian border, the regional governor, Oleh Sinegubov, said Monday, while Russian forces continued to shell cities in Donbas and carried out a rare missile strike in western Ukraine.
