Ukraine says it repels Russian attacks in east, reports small gains

The battlefield situation in the Kharkiv region in eastern Ukraine is “difficult”, but Ukrainian forces are repelling Russian attacks and have regained some territory in the east in the past week, Kyiv said on Monday.
The Ukrainian military said last week Russian forces, who began their full-scale invasion in February 2022, were attacking near Kupiansk, a town in the Kharkiv region.
“The situation in the Kupiansk direction is difficult. The enemy is not abandoning plans to move forward, the enemy is pulling up additional forces,” Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar told national television on Monday.
