Quote: "We continue to advance, and progress is quite convincing. This doesn’t just affect the geographical withdrawal of enemy positions: it also has a psychological effect.

Enemy units which are starting to regroup are looking for ways to reach out to our units in order to conduct so-called negotiations about the possibility of laying down their arms and transitioning to the aegis of international humanitarian law."

Background: Analysts from the Institute for the Study of War say that defenders of Ukraine have rapidly retaken almost the whole territory of Kharkiv Oblast.
