The northeastern Ukrainian city has 'great symbolic meaning,' said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Russian forces may launch a concerted push on the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky has warned, as the weeks wind down towards an anticipated Russian summer offensive from as early as next month.'Kharkiv is one of the capitals of Ukraine, so it has great symbolic meaning,' Zelensky told German newspaper Bild in an interview published on Wednesday.
''A Russian ground operation against Kharkiv in the very near future is unlikely, but Russian efforts to create strategic reserves and reposition forces in the theater could allow Russian forces to launch an offensive toward the city in the summer,' the independent U.S. think tank the Institute for the Study of War said on Wednesday.
