Today, May 26, the Russian army fired on the city of Kharkiv again. The head of the Kharkiv oblast military administration Oleh Syniehubov reported about it.
It is already known that at least 17 people were injured (including a 9-year-old child) and 7 died. Shevchenkivskyi and Kyivskyi districts, and Pavlove Pole district came under fire.
- The Russian military probably decided to withdraw completely from its positions around Kharkiv due to the active counteroffensive of the Armed Forces and limited opportunities for reinforcements, according to the Institute for the Study of War.
