Ukraine Forces Claim to Have Reached Russia Border
Ukraine on Sunday released footage it said showed its troops reaching the border with Russia and re-installing a blue and yellow border post.
The location wasn’t specified, but some reports suggested the footage may have been filmed in the Kharkiv region.
The video’s release came as Ukraine said it held off Russian offensives in the east, with Western military officials saying that Moscow’s campaign there had slowed to a snail’s pace.
The Ukrainian military said it held off a renewed offensive in the Dontesk area of the Donbas.
