Kremlin forces captured five villages in a renewed ground assault in northeastern Ukraine, the Russian Defence Ministry said on Saturday.

Russia had hit the city of Vovchansk with airstrikes and Grad rockets as police and volunteers raced to evacuate residents.

At least 20 people were evacuated to safety in a nearby village. Police said that 900 people had been evacuated the previous day.

Vera Rudko, 72, was among those forced to leave.


“We drove through Vovchansk in the city centre,” Ms Rudko said. “I can’t look at this without tears. Everything is trembling. We didn’t sleep these two nights at all.”

Ukrainian officials didn't confirm whether Russian had taken the villages, which lie in a contested “grey zone” on the border of Ukraine's Kharkiv region and Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said fighting was still ongoing in the settlements of Strilecha and Pletenivka, as well as Krasne, Morokhovets, Oliinykove, Lukyantsi and Hatyshche in a statement on Saturday evening.

“Our troops are carrying out counterattacks there for a second day, protecting Ukrainian territory,” he said.

The Institute for the Study of War said on Friday that geolocated footage confirms at least one of the villages was seized. The Washington-based think tank described recent Russian gains as “tactically significant.”

The renewed assault on the region has forced more than 1,700 civilians residing in settlements near the fighting to flee, according to Ukrainian authorities.

The escalation in the offensive comes after Russia stepped up attacks in March targeting energy infrastructure and settlements, which analysts predicted were a concerted effort by Moscow to shape conditions for an offensive.

Fighting has continued across Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, six years after Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine were invaded and later annexed.

Will this war ever end? It's been two years since the start of this conflict and there's no end in sight.

If Donald trump wins US presidential election in November this year, he will stop helping Ukraine, Ukraine will be forced to cede some of its territory to Russia in exchange for peace.

I've told you before that I don't hate Israel or any country, it is the leadership of a particular country I despise sometimes due to some obvious reasons.


You are blinded by religion, the reason you can't think properly

Our country will be great If you people can love Nigeria the way you love Israel.

If you are on the side of Ukraine, then you should be on the side of Palestine, Biafra and every other group who are fighting for their independence.

Is this all you Have to say?
You didnt shout Russia kills innocent civilians?
You didnt complain that russia is completely taking over ukraine cities, bombing Ukraine , killing people etc

But once you see Jews! Your Ears, teeth, brain and mouth awakes to spit thrash.

Fake Lovers of Humanity.
GOD of ISRAEL continue to Waste your Terrorists brethern, dissapoint you and your band of terrorists sympathizers



Blind brainwashed mumu, Puting could have killed millions if he wanted to. How many civilians have died in Ukraine in 2 years compared the the apartheid terrorist criminals in Israel?

Your shallow low IQ brain can't differentiate from a war where civilians are primarily targeted and one where they are not?
How may civilians have died in the 2 year war compared to the Israeli GENOCIDE?

It seems there's no end in sight to this war.

It's just unfortunate that Ukraine allowed itself to be used as a battleground for a proxy war between Russia and the West.

Wars are fought for experience, insight and testing of weapons. You don't achieve these in a short period of time
