Russian authorities reported on Saturday that their forces had made further advances in Ukraine's Kharkiv and Sumy regions, claiming control of three additional towns, according to a report from Iran's Mehr News Agency.
The claim was attributed to Russian officials and could not be independently verified. Battlefield claims from both Russia and Ukraine regarding territorial control in the ongoing conflict frequently differ and are often disputed by the opposing side.
Kharkiv and Sumy are among the northeastern Ukrainian regions that have seen sustained fighting since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.
Neither Ukrainian officials nor independent monitors were cited in the report confirming or disputing the claim, and further details on the specific towns or circumstances of the reported advances were not provided.
