Russia's advance on Kharkiv raises concerns and strain

In September 2022, Kharkiv province saw a significant Ukrainian victory, liberating 12,000 sq km from Russian control. Recently, Russians have made substantial advances, causing civilian displacement and military strain. US aid is being expedited. Russian attacks aim to pressure Ukraine's military and morale. If successful, Russia could target Kharkiv city. Ukraine's ability to resist remains uncertain. US aid may take time to be fully operational.
