6:50 am: Ukraine claims progress in the northeast
The Ukrainian army claims progress on the northeastern front, with the resumption of several localities in the Kharkiv region, as a meeting of defense ministers from allied countries opens in Germany on Thursday to organize their support Ukrainian military capabilities.
“This week we have good news from the Kharkiv region,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening video address broadcast on social media. Refusing to name them, he spoke of “localities where the Ukrainian flag has returned”.
