[HIGHLIGHTS] “The enemy is gathering troops”: Putin is preparing a major attack, according to Ukraine soldiers

“The enemy is gathering troops’: Putin is preparing a major attack, according to Ukraine soldiers. “They are attacking every day, they are attacking each day,” one Ukrainian soldier said.

The three-river city of Kharkiv plays an important role in Russia's culture of remembrance, even though it is located in Ukraine. The Red Army fought three major battles with the German Wehrmacht in World War II in the area. In August 1943, the large city, which was then called Kharkov and belonged to the Soviet Union, was recaptured by the Soviets.
