Ukrainian News: Mayor of Kharkiv Reports Attack by Shahed Drones, Forced Evacuation of Children Announced

Referring to the mayor of Kharkiv, the Ukrainian news agency “Unian” reports that an attack by “Shahed” drones is taking place. In a densely built-up residential area, a civil infrastructure object was partially damaged, but the victims and victims managed to avoid. All responsible services work in this place.

A day earlier, Russia shelled the city of Kupyansk with several reactive salvo missile systems and two civilians were killed. Residential buildings and cars were damaged.

Attacks on the Kharkiv region are continuous, so the authorities recently announced the forced evacuation of children from 18 settlements. It is planned to bring a total of at least 161 children to safety.

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has also called on people who have left the city not to return home yet. The Russian army continues to shell other settlements, and 11 people were injured in the city of Mirnohrad in the Donetsk region on Sunday. Air defense shot down 35 out of 39 attack drones of the aggressor last night.

CONTEXT:

Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked large-scale invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022, the Kremlin’s propaganda brazenly promised to capture Kyiv in three days, but the selfless and strong resistance of the Ukrainians prevented the Kremlin from realizing its plans.

After the setbacks, the Kremlin withdrew the army from the Kyiv region, but continued the offensive in other regions. In the fall of 2022, the Ukrainian army managed to liberate Kharkiv region and part of Kherson region in successful operations, raising hopes for the possibility of defeating the enemy.

However, the Ukrainian counter-offensive launched in the summer of 2023 was not so successful, which the Ukrainian army explains both by the insufficient supply of weapons from the Western allies and by the extensive defense line and extensive minefields created by the Russian army. Now there are reports that a war of positions has begun at the front with exhausting battles and preparations must be made for long-term support for Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Russia regularly attacks civilian targets and is expected to target energy infrastructure like last year.
