Ukraine says 'stopped' Russian advances in Kharkiv, now counterattacking
Ukrainian forces have "stopped" Russia from advancing further into the northeastern Kharkiv region and are now counter attacking, but Moscow is intensifying its assault on other parts of the front, Ukraine's army said Friday. President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the region's capital on Friday to discuss the battle for Vovchansk, a town that sits fewer than five kilometres (three miles) from the border.
