Russia claims first gains in Kharkiv region since Ukraine counter-offensive
The Russian military on Tuesday said it had recaptured territory in the eastern Kharkiv region of Ukraine, the first gains in that place since Moscow's forces were pushed back in a sweeping counter-offensive.
"Units of the Russian army during offensive operations captured the village of Gorobiivka in the Kharkiv region," the defense ministry said, claiming to have inflicted a "significant defeat" on Ukrainian troops in the village.
