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.

Russian bastards have invaded across the border in 2 regions northeast of Kharkiv, to stretch Ukrainian forces, which are already short of both equipment and manpower:

  1. Towards the villages of Strilecha, Pylyna, Borysivka, and Krasne towards Oliynykove just north and slightly east of Kharkiv

and

  1. Towards Ohirtseve and Vovchansk, northeast of Kharkiv

Ukraine’s Oleh Syniehubov, Head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, disputed that the five villages in the Kharkiv Region had been captured.

“Heavy fighting continues in Strilecha, Pylyna, Borysivka, in the area of Oliynykove and Ohirtseve. The fighting continues in the area of those settlements that were actually in the ‘grey zone’ […] There is no threat of a ground operation for Kharkiv. The Defense Forces are doing everything possible to hold their positions. All government agencies are working on the ground,” Syniehubov said.

    Well there it is up to Ukranians to deal with that. I would imagine that for military command the inspection of these things is important… existential even.
