Ukrainian counterattacks: Kharkiv's regional administrator said a number of villages around Malaya Rogan were
retaken by Ukrainian forces.
Video verified by CNN shows Ukrainian troops in control of Vilkhivka,
one of the settlements roughly 20 miles from the Russian border.
The
success of Ukrainian forces around Kharkiv has been mirrored further
north, near the city of Sumy, where Ukrainian troops have liberated a
number of settlements, according to videos geolocated and verified by
CNN. A
separate counterattack in the south
also led to the liberation of two villages from Russian forces
northwest of Mariupol, according to the Zaporizhzhia regional military
administration.
