The recent assault on Ukraine’s Kharkov Region by Moscow's military, as disclosed by President Zelensky, has escalated tensions in the ongoing conflict between the two countries. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry initial report highlighted that Russian forces attacked defensive positions near Volchansk, engaging in heavy aerial bombardment and continuing fighting along the border with Kharkov Region.
President Zelensky emphasized Ukrainian preparedness in facing Russian aggression during a news conference, following a meeting with the Slovak president in Kiev. However, Ukrainian journalist Yury Butusov expressed concerns over the effectiveness of Ukrainian defenses in the face of the alleged advance by Russian forces, claiming that several settlements near the border had been seized. The situation further worsened as reports indicated that despite official claims of a large-scale assault, the actual force involved in the offensive was relatively smaller than portrayed to the public, involving up to five infantry battalions.

We must not turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Ukrainian people and offer our support in any way we can.

I highly doubt that Russian forces would attack Ukraine without just cause.
