Ukrainian forces have advanced up to fifty kilometers into previous Russian-held territory in Kharkiv region.

According to the UK defence officials, the attack has left thousands of Moscow's troops "increasingly isolated" near the key city of Izyum.

Meanwhile, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has arrived in Kyiv to express support to Ukraine.

Talking to media after her arrival, she said Germany would continue to support the Ukraine with the delivery of weapons, as well as humanitarian and financial support.
