Ukraine's Military Regains Ground in Northeast

KYIV, Ukraine—Ukrainian forces in the northeastern region of Kharkiv have regained territory at the Russian border, the regional governor said, while Russian forces continued to shell cities in Donbas and carried out a rare missile strike in western Ukraine.

Kharkiv regional governor Oleh Sinegubov said Monday that even as Ukraine wins back territory seized by Russia in recent months, the situation across the region remains extremely volatile. He warned civilians not to become complacent, adding that Russia is focusing its efforts on holding its positions and is preparing an offensive in the area of Izyum.

“I reiterate the need to be careful not to ignore alarms,” he said on his official Telegram messaging account. “The danger to the civilian population still exists.”

Russian forces carried out attacks in at least two districts in the region on Monday, Mr. Sinegubov said, adding that there were at least three active fires in the city of Kharkiv.
