Russian news agencies say curbs enacted for flight safety as defence ministry reports it has stopped a Ukrainian drone attack on the capital region
What we know on day 544 of the invasion
The situation in the eastern Ukrainian region of Kharkiv is “difficult” but Ukraine’s forces are repelling Russian attacks and have retaken several square kilometres on the eastern front over the past week, a deputy defence minister said on Monday.
The Ukrainian military said last week that Russia was attacking towards Kupiansk, a town in the Kharkiv region, Reuters reports.
The situation in the Kupiansk direction is difficult. The enemy is not leaving plans to move forward, the enemy is pulling up additional forces.
We are confident in our defenders, but it is very difficult for them there and the enemy is not advancing there.
