## Russia mounts surprise assault on northern Ukraine in most serious cross-border offensive in two years

Authored by cnn.com

Russian forces have made two cross-border assaults inside northern Ukraine, according to information from Ukrainian sources and officials, in what President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling a “new wave of counteroffensive actions” by Russia.

In the first development, Russian soldiers penetrated at least one kilometer towards the town of Vovchansk, a Ukrainian military source told CNN.

The aim, the source said, “was to get 10 km deep and create a buffer zone at the border to secure Russian territory from feeling the war.”.

The source said the Russian ground assault towards Krasne was carried out by four Russian battalions - about 2,000 men.

“Russia launched a new wave of counteroffensive actions in [northern Kharkiv region].

The developments mark the most serious cross-border ground assault by Russia since Ukraine re-captured the territory of northern Kharkiv region in the late summer of 2022, after it was first taken by Russia in the opening weeks of its full-scale invasion.

“The enemy group does not pose a threat to Kharkiv city, its forces are only enough for provocations in the northern direction.”. »
