On the 76th day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian officials said on Tuesday they liberated villages controlled by Russian troops in Kharkov.
Defense Ministry adviser Yuriy Sais said the victories of the Ukrainian forces drove the Russians out of the region. The head of the regional military administration, Oleg Sinegubov, said that after Ukrainian troops recaptured the villages, the bodies of dozens of Russian soldiers were dumped on the streets.
The failure of Russia to explain the intensification of the attacks caused the Ukrainian government and allied countries to begin to analyze what new scenarios could be for the conflict.
Germany has announced that it will reopen its embassy in the capital, Kiev.
