Russian forces are massing for another cross-border assault northwest of Kharkiv as Ukrainian soldiers struggle to fight off an attack that threatens the city, Ukraine’s spy chief has warned.
General Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, told the New York Times that Ukraine was running out of reserves and that the battlefield situation was “on edge”.
“Every hour the situation moves towards critical,” he said. “I’ve used everything we have. Unfortunately, we don’t have anyone else in the reserves.”
Russian forces launched a dawn cross-border attack 20 miles north of Kharkiv on Friday and the Kremlin has now said that its military has captured a tenth village near the town of Vovchansk.
