On 10 May 2024, the Russian Armed Forces began an offensive operation in Ukraine's Kharkiv Oblast, shelling and attempting to breach the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the direction of Vovchansk and Kharkiv.[4] The Guardian reported that the offensive has led to Russia's biggest territorial gains in 18 months.[5] By early June the Russian offensive stalled, with The Guardian reporting that the situation on the frontline had been "stabilized."[6] Ukrainian forces then began small-scale counterattacks, which reportedly recaptured its first settlement on 19 June.[7]
The Russian armed forces have also launched raids into Sumy Oblast,[8] Chernihiv Oblast,[9] and other segments of Kharkiv Oblast,[10] in an effort to draw Ukrainian resources away from the main offensive in Kharkiv.[11] Similarly, Ukrainian forces have launched raids into Belgorod Oblast, while some western analysts attribute the 2024 Kursk offensive as a diversion from Kharkiv.[12][13]
