Ukraine is expecting a Russian offensive against the large city of Kharkiv in the east of the country. President Volodymyr Zelensky is making “maximum efforts” to protect and support the city of over a million people.

Russia is also targeting Zaporizhia, which has been occupied by Russian troops for over two years. Russian precision attacks with cruise missiles and missiles have hit Ukraine's energy network hard in recent weeks. The Ukrainian government has now received proposals to repair the power outage and serious damage to Ukraine's entire energy network.
