The Russian attack came early on Friday with what residents say was the heaviest bombardment since the start of the war.

The attack focused on the town of Vovchansk, which is 5km from Ukraine’s border with Russia.

The Russian forces reportedly advanced 1km before Ukrainian reinforcements held them off.

  1. Every body who said no to peace And yes to more money is responsible for the million dead on both sides. There is no God but i sometimes wish it to be true.

  5. The fighting age Ukrainians who fled to the rest of Europe are cowards. Our people didn’t run away during WWII.

  7. we Kharkiv residents somehow don't mind. Our rights have been reduced to the state of Africa, we live like macaques in a zoo. We really hope that they will succeed, all hope is for Russia 🙏

  11. They are not fleeing anything. They are here in IRELAND with their luxury 4×4 and going back to Ukraine for Christmas and Holidays.

  13. A bad leader will only break the country, as is the case in Ukraine, South Korea, Argentina, and the Philippines. The leaders of these countries all mistakenly thought they could beg for benefits from the United States, but they found out that they were just pawns of the United States!

  22. Russians were never pushed back by Ukraine's army, they retreated from Kharkiv region because they didn't have enough soldiers to defend it at the time and they were at risk of being surrounded but not a single battle was fought.
    Ukrainians never won a single battle in more than two years as the only real battles were fought in Mariupol, Bakhmut and Avdivka and they've always lost.
