RUSSIA'S KHARKOV PUSH: Moscow Claims Two Settlements Seized, Ukrainian Forces Encircled

Russia says its forces have taken control of Zarubinka and Goptovka in Ukraine's Kharkov region and blocked Ukrainian units near Olkhovatka, as Moscow claims its offensive is expanding along the northeastern front. The Russian Defence Ministry also reported strikes on Ukrainian UAV depots, an assembly workshop, port logistics infrastructure and vessels allegedly carrying military supplies. Russian forces further claimed that FPV drones destroyed a U.S.-made M109 Paladin artillery system near Kramatorsk.
