Part 6/11:
The Russian military has retaliated with intensified shelling in the contested regions, particularly around Kharkiv, as Ukraine seeks to regain lost ground. Russian forces launched a broad offensive in May, attempting to push back Ukrainian defenses along the northeastern border, capturing several villages before Ukrainian reinforcements halted their advance. Despite setbacks, Ukrainian forces have been making incremental gains, regaining territory and preparing for potential Russian summer offensives.
Ukrainian authorities are also evacuating children from border areas amid fears of renewed Russian aggressions, underscoring the continued volatility and intensity of this conflict.
