  • The figures still amaze people in Ukraine — since September 6, the Ukrainian army has liberated more than 6,000 square kilometers (2,378 square miles) and more than 300 towns with a total population of about 150,000 people in the Kharkiv region.
  • Reportedly, most of the territory in the north and east of Kharkiv Oblast has been recaptured, an area Russia had quickly occupied and held at the start of the invasion on February 24, 2022.
  • Russia, which has a new army base near the town of Valuyki close to the Ukrainian border, used Kupyansk to transport supplies to the front near Izyum.
